What are some topics that will be explored?
- How do you conform with values of the host country culture and the one from your family’s traditional culture?
- How does it feel when social expectations or cultural norms are not matching with yours?
- How often do you feel misunderstood by your friends, family and colleagues…because you feel your identity is not the mainstream one?
If these questions resonate with you, join us and meet like minded people!
Language: mainly English, with some Vietnamese
——————————————————————————————————
As it’s a journey with powerful and vulnerable stories, you need to participate in the 2 sessions so we can nurture trust.
Workshops:
» Session 1
~We will address cultural identity issues~
– How comfortable are you expressing your “Vietnameseness”? your Australianess or “Frenchness” or “Germaness”?… How deeply have you explored your cultural identities?
» Session 2
~We will focus on the sense of belonging and conforming with the host culture~
– How do you navigate different cultural expectations? Do you reject your “Vietnameseness”? your “Frenchness”? your “Australianess”…?
*Please note this event is open to all cultural backgrounds
*If for any reason you can’t attend the second session, you can still find a person whose cultural background matches yours. It’s best if you can attend. For your information we also run a cruise retreat especially for VK-OV in December addressing those issues, where you can connect deeper with like minded people with similar experiences.
