Save the Date: Our Inclusivity Journey Begins October 17

A new chapter begins this October! We are thrilled to introduce Woven Paths of Inclusivity: Discovering Stories, Sharing Journeys, and Connecting Hearts, a three-month journey to celebrate and integrate the experiences of people with diverse abilities.

This program was born from the idea of weaving different life experiences into a shared community fabric. With heartfelt thanks to the German Embassy Yangon for their generous support, and in collaboration with our incredible partners in the disability community, we've planned a series of events for everyone to discover, share, and connect.

Towards Empathy Project Update

As part of our initiative, Towards Empathy, we are onboarding a series of Focus Group Discussions starting from the third week of October until the first week of December.

These conversations will bring together diverse voices and perspectives to reflect on the fragility of human connection, and to explore how empathy can be rebuilt, recovered, and sustained in times of constraint.
With participants from different backgrounds and perspectives, these discussions hope  to foster inclusive insights and reflections that truly embody the spirit of empathy.
