We have a international program for high schools named BAE Borderless Art Education.
Students can enroll via an Open Call to participate with international peers. On a regular base students from schools in Japan and The Netherlands talk to each other online. They discuss daily life and culture with each other. Next to that they work in teams of 4 on an art project. The process and the outcome will be shown at the World Expo in Osaka this year from August 1st till September 1st.
Next to that they get several masterclasses from professional artists.
