泰國布拉帕大學（BUU）共由9位代表組成參訪團並於本月20日參訪北藝大，除了一般的參訪行程外，最主要的是與本校簽署兩邊的合作契約。BUU的校長Watcharin Gasaluck更親臨本校簽署此次的合約，本校亦特邀BUU的代表們前往北藝中心觀賞由本校舞蹈系所帶來的《春之祭》重現亞洲的首演舞台。

本校共派出了傳音系（簡秀珍主任及蔡淩蕙助理教授）、電影系（滕兆鏘主任）、音樂與影像跨域學程（孫紹庭講師）、舞蹈系（余承婕教授及林亞婷教授）的師長們作為代表各自帶領BUU的代表們參觀系上的教學空間等。另外，BUU也特別為北藝大傳音系及舞蹈系的同學安排了一場泰國傳統舞蹈工作坊。此工作坊是由該校 Noppon Jamroenthong 教授、助教 Visaka Sae-Ui 、Pimonpan Lertlam教授及Padparadscha Kaewploy助理院長所帶領的。

本次參與泰國舞蹈工作坊除了傳音系及舞蹈系同學參與外，余承婕教授及林亞婷國際長也樂於參與其中。此外，我們亦希望在往後能有更多的交流機會，同時呼籲同學們本校已與該校簽署雙邊合作，往後也可考慮到該校進行交換，進行多方面的學習以達至更國際化的視野。
