About this Event

A presentation followed by an engaging Vibe session and dinner where teens can share their thoughts and explore the respectful aspects of interacting with different people, including the distinction between appreciation and appropriation.

Teens will come together to explore the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. Through a short presentation and engaging vibe session, they will discuss the history and power dynamics behind appropriation and the harm it causes to society. They also will learn how to make thoughtful choices to avoid disrespect when engaging with other cultures. Together, they will celebrate diverse cultures by honoring and connecting with others in meaningful ways, sharing a meal, and making new friends.
