This event was hosted by the Japan UNESCO Association and was organized as an international exchange event for charity purposes, aiming to support the local community and children.

Participating students Kim Doohyun, Kim Soyeon, Kim Haram, Nam Haejung, Bae Jiyeon, Shin Sion, and Lee Yeeun planned and operated the 'Companion Animal Design' booth themselves at the event. They showcased sustainable design works that enable harmonious coexistence between companion animals and people.

In particular, they received an enthusiastic response by actively engaging with Japanese citizens through product exhibitions and interactive content.

The purpose of this participation went beyond a simple exhibition; it was conducted as an educational program to provide practical experience in an overseas setting and to foster a global perspective. The students had a meaningful time not only applying their design expertise but also experiencing the local culture firsthand and learning the importance of international collaboration.

Professor Kim Jongki of the Companion Animal Industry Design major stated, "We will continue to strengthen international cooperation in the fields of education, science, culture, and information communication for global companion animal design." He added, "Participation in this Kobe UNESCO Marche will serve as a foundation for nurturing companion animal design professionals with a global perspective."
