Abstract
The paper presents our strategies and insights for conducting a collaborative workshop of American and Chinese students and faculty in Guangzhou, China. Inspired by this experience, the authors address the challenges and opportunities of globalization and decolonization to design education. The paper emphasizes the importance of establishing strong collaborations with other countries and cultures for a truly multicultural experience for the new generations of design students.
