International collaboration is not just about travel
It is about co-creation, mutual learning, sustainable partnerships and bringing global perspectives to local realities. By actively tapping into funding schemes such as Erasmus +, Culture Moves Europe and the Koninkrijksbeurs, the Design Academy positions itself as a hub for global design exchange while remaining rooted in Aruba’s context.
We invite students, artists, faculty and external partners to explore these opportunities, share ideas, propose projects, and help build meaningful collaborations that elevate our creative landscape.
