Breakout Session
Choose one question and share your response with the group. Share the time and take turns speaking. Be mindful of those who may not be fluent in English – speak clearly. (20 minutes total)
- What did you hear today that resonated with you or spoke to you? Why?
- Have you ever felt in stuck between two cultures that were not seen as equal?
- Do you experience a cultural gap between you and your parents (or others such as your extended family, in your school or college life, with your parents’ agency or sending church, etc.)? How does it affect your relationship with them?
