Taking Root - live podcast

Come and join the conversation during this live podcast recording, where we will explore questions such as: How can you take root in a country that constantly reminds you that you don’t belong? We are polarizing at a fast pace. Even if you were born here, you are still made to feel like the “other.” How can you take root in a world which utilizes double standards, where the odds are stacked against you? What gives you hope? What do we have in common? How do we bridge the distance between us? |In this workshop Nora aims to create a warm and open space to explore what it means to feel truly at home in yourself and the world around you.
