For the first time in its organizational history, the 2019 Asia Pacific Conference on Curriculum Studies and Instructional Designing (APCCSID), inaugurated in the Philippines, found its hosting ground at Universiti Brunei Darussalam in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam on July 26-27, 2019. Organized by the Asia Pacific Research Association on Curriculum Studies Inc. (APRACSI), this third edition of the conference centered on the theme "[Re]Thinking Curriculum Design for the 21st Century." Dr. Andrew Wall from the University of Redlands, USA, served as the keynote speaker, delving into social and pedagogical trends and their interconnectedness with curriculum reform. Open forums provided a platform for fruitful scholarly discussions among curriculum experts and participants. The regular parallel presentations of carefully selected papers, aligned with the conference theme, further enriched the overall experience. Notably, the third APCCSID received recognition from Bruneian education authorities and garnered coverage on national television, underscoring its growing regional influence and collaborative ethos. This event marks the initiation of a journey for the conference to move across countries, marking a significant milestone in its regional influence and collaborative spirit.
