The Art Connector helps the Hogeschool van Amsterdam/ Digital Society School (HvA/ DSS) to look for a strong Chinese educational partner in China.

In January 2018, a trip to China was made to engage with potential partners. The Art Connector mainly focused on examining the suitability of the potential partners, whereby the ideal educational partner has technical expertise, wants to broaden in ‘Design Thinking’ and has a decisive supporting business network. This means that an educational partners is able to make cross-links for knowledge development between the educational institutions and its supporting companies (both content wise and financial).

The Art Connector actively supports the HvA/ DSS in their search for an Chinese educational partner by advising and carrying out various activities.
