WHAT WE’LL EXPLORE

• What does it mean to belong across different cultures?

• How do culture, family and community expectations shape our identity?

• What makes it easier—or harder—to build meaningful social connections in Australia?

• What kinds of community programs, resources and support would young Asian women genuinely find useful?

This is not a lecture.

Your experiences, perspectives and ideas are at the centre of the conversation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• A welcoming introduction to AWDPI Australia and the Voices & Perspectives series

• A short guest reflection on identity, belonging and cross-cultural adaptation

• A light anonymous check-in and interactive activity

• Facilitated small-group conversations in Zoom breakout rooms

• Shared reflection, practical insights and community resources

• An opportunity to ask questions and help inform future AWDPI initiatives

The session is designed to be thoughtful, participatory and respectful. You are welcome to contribute actively, listen quietly, or do a combination of both.

• International students
