The event encouraged dialogue exchanges and co-creation on current global issues in creative, arts, design, and related fields between several universities, including Meiji University (Japan), Chulalongkorn University, MUIC, Silpakorn University, Dhurakij Pundit University, and Chiang Mai University, with support from the NCCU Art & Culture Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei (MoCA TAIPEI).

The participants not only gained experiences from working on creative, art, and design projects together, they were also able to expand their academic networks as they embraced differences from the diverse parties involved, reflecting the UN SDG17 (Partnerships for the Goals) and SDG4 (Quality Education) for the future development of art, design, and creative field of education.
