2022 NTNU International Cultural Festival Theme: “Immensity” 
Travelers from all over the world set off on an unknown journey in colorful hot air balloons, temporarily congregating on the NTNU campus before continuing on their quest. By their balloons' beautiful designs, they are ready with excitement to share the uniqueness of their cultures to any curious mind. May their wonderful dreams realize great heights one day like the millions of balloons rising to the immense, beautiful sky.
