From April 21–23, 2026, QiClash had the honor of accompanying the delegation from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, at the 27th International Conference of the International Federation of Social Science Organizations (IFSSO), held at Udayana University (Bali, Indonesia) 🇮🇩.

IFSSO is a prestigious international academic forum, gathering numerous organizations and scholars in the field of social sciences.

With the theme "Religion, Secularization, and Modernization in Comparative Perspective," this year's conference opened up a vibrant interdisciplinary space where issues regarding heritage, culture, religion, and sustainable development were examined from various perspectives.

Here, we had the opportunity to introduce QiClash to international scholars and friends as a new approach to cultural expression, where the imagery of the 12 zodiac animals is transformed into a strategic system of symbols.

From that, the game transcends the boundaries of a mere pastime, becoming a community-binding thread and a creative space for the preservation of Vietnamese culture.

Through this international forum, we aim to spread East Asian cultural values, contributing to community connection and moving toward a sustainable future together.

Each game of QiClash is a bridge connecting knowledge, wisdom, and the cultural essence of Vietnam to the world!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the IFSSO Board of Directors and the delegation from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, HCMC for their trust and for providing the opportunity for QiClash to be present at such a meaningful international academic forum.
