These exchanges were a two-way street, where I had the opportunity to share my own ideas and receive feedback, while also gaining insights from their innovative processes and methodologies. These interactions were intellectually stimulating that broaden my perspective on design. During the semester, I came across many stories and friendly encounters, and I came back with a mind full of warmth and richness. I learned valuable skills and views on my stage design practice which all became very precious to me. Being able to dive into another culture is an unforgettable moment of life, one of a value that is hard to convey with words. 31 Student Exchange Programmes
