In this session, we would like to describe “World Museum Project”, an international cross-cultural and cross-generational collaboration, focusing on the process of how it evolved from a small project connecting two schools, into a project involving many schools/groups, and discuss a set of design principles that developed through organizing such collaborative projects.
