We recently had the opportunity to run a “Who Am I?” workshop with students, centred around exploring our cultural journeys, identity, belonging and self-worth.
The session was designed to help students reflect on how family, community, media and society influence who we are, recognise the strengths that come from cultural diversity, and explore ways to strengthen self-worth and belonging.
We got off to a late start, so we had to improvise! We decided to shift gears and bring some music into the room and before long, the girls were DJing, experimenting with the equipment, learning new skills and creating their own energy in the space.
It was a great reminder that sometimes the best learning experiences come from being flexible and making the most of the moment. What began as a workshop about cultural identity turned into an opportunity for creativity, collaboration, confidence, and connection.
A huge shout out to Rahima, Hadil, Hodan, Ohoud, Fatima, Amina, Hafsa, Shukri and Adna. And a special mention to the students who aren't in the photo, you were still an important part of the session, and we’re glad you made it!
A cultural journey, conversations about identity and belonging, and an unexpected DJ session made the event one to remember.
Discover how students experience belonging and connection.
