Weaving Futures: A Cross-Cultural Journey in Sustainable Design connects EUNIC members, the EU Delegation, and Thai and European universities through an innovative, cross-cultural approach to sustainable design. It addresses urgent ecological challenges by fostering dialogue between young designers from Europe and Thailand, promoting eco-responsibility, inclusivity, and shared creativity. The project brings students from Thailand and Europe for an immersive field experience in remote Thai regions, where traditional craftsmanship and sustainable practices inspire new ideas. Each Thai–European student pair then undertakes a residency - guided by professional mentors from both continents - to translate local knowledge into innovative prototypes reflecting environmental awareness and cultural exchange. Inspired by and partnering with the Design Asia program by NHL Stenden University (Netherlands), the project gives a broader European dimension to cross-cultural learning. Its results will be showcased at major public events, including at Galleries Nights (Alliance Française Bangkok) and Chiang Mai Design Week 2026. Building on Creatives for Climate Action - Thailand (CCAT) Weaving Futures turns dialogue into design — transforming shared values into tangible outcomes and lasting partnerships between students, institutions, and communities.
