In 2024, I was invited as a speaker at the Tsinghua International Conference on Art & Design Education (ICADE) 2024, hosted by Tsinghua University and organized in collaboration with the Academy of Arts & Design, the Tsinghua Arts and Design Institute in Milan, and the China-Italy Design Innovation Hub.

Held in Milan, the conference is an international platform that brings together leading universities, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of art, design, and education to explore the future of creative disciplines. The 2024 edition focused on the theme “New Dimensions: Imagination Beyond the Horizon”, addressing how art and design education is evolving in the era of artificial intelligence and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Within this context, the Design Education Leadership Round Table gathered academic leaders and institutional representatives from around the world to discuss emerging pedagogical models, cross-cultural exchange, and the role of design education in shaping future societies.

My participation as a speaker contributed to this dialogue on the transformation of art and design education, particularly in relation to new technological paradigms and the expansion of creative and critical practices across disciplines.
