The approach draws from Lin's long-term involvement in international performances, cross-border collaborations, and cultural exchange initiatives. As multicultural and interdisciplinary collaboration becomes increasingly common in global arts environments, traditional training models focused on single disciplines and technical instruction alone are proving insufficient to address the practical creative and communicative demands faced by today's artists.

As showcased in the article, Lin's educational thinking emphasizes the role of the arts as a medium for communication and connection across cultural contexts. Music and performing arts are viewed as shared languages capable of bridging linguistic and cultural differences, supporting sustained interaction among communities from diverse backgrounds.

Building on this perspective, Lin has articulated the Asia International Academy of Performing Arts as a conceptual educational framework. The concept explores the integration of music, theatre, dance, and interdisciplinary creation within a unified learning structure. Rather than replicating existing institutional models, it focuses on rethinking pedagogical methods, learning pathways, and cross-cultural practice.

The framework places equal importance on artistic practice and cultural understanding, highlighting experiential learning through participation in cross-cultural collaboration, performance exchange, and long-term dialogue. This approach prioritizes real-world engagement over classroom-based or technique-focused training alone.

As global cultural exchange structures continue to evolve, Asia is emerging as an increasingly significant node within international cultural networks. Within this context, the concept considers the potential roles Asia may play in future performing arts education and cross-cultural dialogue.

At present, these educational ideas and directions are being explored and tested through international exchange and collaborative initiatives facilitated by the New Asia Chamber Music Society, as part of an ongoing and developing educational framework.
