Building synergy and collaboration across communities is increasingly important for advancing the quality of higher education in today’s global era. This study explores a teaching and learning exchange program between the Institute of Technology and Business STIKOM Bali, Indonesia, and Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage of Thailand. Designed with a participatory approach, the program brought together a range of activities, including guest lectures, teaching demonstrations, cultural immersion, and institutional visits. The experience not only enhanced technology-based teaching skills but also boosted students’ confidence in cross-cultural communication while opening opportunities for joint research and publications. These outcomes show that structured academic exchanges can create meaningful, long-term collaborations, enrich mutual understanding, and contribute significantly to strengthening international higher education networks.
