## 🧭 **Session 1: Mapping Your Cultural Self- Identity, Values & Belonging**

1️⃣ This is session 1 of a 2-session series part 1: "Design Your Cultural Lens"

🌱 “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” – Anaïs Nin

✨ Our cultural background, personal history, and experiences of belonging **shape the “lens” through which we interpret the world**.

In this opening session, we explore **how identity, home, and lived experience influence how we communicate and connect**; in life, work, and community.

Using Learning Experience Design through simple **reflective practices**, light **movement**, **visual mapping**, and guided **storytelling**, you will begin to **identify the elements that shape your cultural lens**.
