How can cultures coexist? – Tea & Sharing in the Park

Oct 5 @ 14:30 - 16:00 JST

🌱 How can we learn & grow within multicultural spaces?

Our first cozy sharing salon after the summer break! we’re also excited to announce that this is our first topic proposed by a community member & voted on by others in the collective. join our discord if you’d like to help shape future events like this! :)

Through the lens of our personal experiences, we’ll chat over tea about how different cultures can coexist and thrive together, and the roles we can play in creating cultural inclusivity. we’ll explore the lessons we can learn from one another across cultures, and how to build communities that celebrate both difference and sameness.

Whether you have thought deeply about this topic before, or not at all, we invite you to come and hang out!
