Does Social Media Help Us Belong or Push Us Further Apart?
Details
Social media and technology connect us across continents — but for 3rd Cultures, diaspora, and mixed-heritage individuals, they often become the place we search for home, belonging, and people who finally understand what it means to live “in between.”
This gathering is for those who:
- Grew up between cultures, countries, or belief systems
- Maintain relationships across borders
- Feel deeply connected online, yet unseen offline
- Are tired of explaining their identity over and over
If that resonates, this space is for you.
Discussion Topic:
Belonging in a Digital World: Connection, Identity, and the Cost of Being “In Between”
We’ll explore together:
- Identity & Expression
How has social media shaped the way you express your full identity? Has it helped you feel whole — or pressured you to choose one side? - Connection vs. Division
Do online platforms truly bridge cultural divides, or do they amplify misunderstanding? Where have you felt genuine connection — and where have you felt invisible? - Relationships Across Borders
How has technology influenced your friendships, romantic relationships, or sense of community? Have you formed deep bonds with people who share your hybrid identity — even without meeting in person?
Looking forward to seeing you there for an insight discussion!
