BRIDGING WORLDS: A Cross-bay Cross-community Chinese Diaspora Connection Gathering (中文活动介绍在下面)
In this very very very special in-person event facilitated by Xuel and Tian Tian, we are going to have a bilingual, cross-community mixer that is designed for you to get out of your bubble, connect with Chinese diaspora folks from a different immigration background, explore your inner processes and narratives when hearing and/or speaking Chinese versus English, and practice empathetic connection and authentic self-expression.
You will likely hear stories that surprise and open you up, feel a spectrum of emotions that is hard to translate, and gain deep insights of yourself and the systems we live in and receive new connections that bridge your inner and outer worlds.
+++ Icebreaking games
+++ Authentic Relating games
+++ T-group 2.0
