What we’re about
Welcome to Talking, Listening, Belonging—In a Shared World Meetup!
This group is for individuals passionate about social networking, brainstorming, discussions, and exploring migration-related topics. Let’s come together to share our experiences, insights, and aspirations in a supportive and inclusive environment. Whether you are a newcomer, a long-time resident, or a local interested in learning more about different cultures and backgrounds, and the nuances of moving abroad and finding yourself in a new society, this is the place for you. Join us as we connect, engage, and grow together in our shared world.

What does it truly mean to be a “successful” immigrant? Is it simply about income or education—or does it involve achieving real social influence, recognition, and equality of opportunity?
Join us for a group discussion where we’ll reflect on these questions, drawing lightly from a sociological article that explores how emigration shapes people’s chances, identities, and ambitions. We’ll also look at how not all immigrants are treated or seen the same way—even when they arrive with skills or degrees.
📌 Explore a real-life dossier of a successful immigrant in Vancouver—available right now via the link—and catch the next inspiring story at the end of the meeting.
