Design Your Cultural Lens - Session 1/2: Mapping Your Cultural Self

🧭 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"- communication skills series in English.

🌱 “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.
