Beyond the Frame : Bridging Asia and Europe in Animation Education
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the School of Film, TV and Multimedia at the Korea National University of Arts, the Department of Animation organized an International Animation Conference to reflect on the 15-year achievements of the CAMPUS Asia consortium (up to Mode 3) and to connect them with the future global expansion of Mode 4.
The conference aimed to bridge Asia’s leading CAMPUS Asia joint education program with Europe’s ELIA (European League of Institutes of the Arts), inviting top animation schools from both regions to discuss forward-looking, advanced, and internationally collaborative approaches to animation education.
