"Mentoring students from diverse regions isn't just about sharing knowledge, it's about igniting a global perspective in creativity. The true impact of creativity lies in breaking down our own barriers and embracing the endless possibilities it offers on a worldwide stage. When we learn to think beyond borders, we empower the next generation to create work that resonates effortlessly across cultures, leaving a lasting impact everywhere it touches"
