Cultural Mosaics,
Educational Online Campaign
Wiebke Homborg is the intercultural coach and trainer behind the Chameleon Coaching brand. Together, our aim was to develop minimalistic visuals to break down and explain each of the 12 CCK groups one by one, simplifying them into basic shapes.
For each CCK groups we created:
- a distinct visual representation depicting the cross-cultural experience with a simple definition to explain it
- micro-moment encompassing a central struggle with the voice and experience of one of the inbetweenish guests
- reflective questions to ponder upon the CCK experience
- outline of struggles, benefits, and suggestions on how adults can support children in this group
We rolled out this educational campaign on our respective platforms over the course of a month. We engaged our audience to consider the many different ways one can be exposed to different cultures in their developmental years and the resonance that can carry throughout a person's life.
Stories Across Borders,
Open Discussions on Polarizing Topics
In this intimate space, my co-host Hedvig Sandbu and I, bring together individuals who value the power of conversation and diverse perspectives. Our collaborative project, Stories Across Borders, was born out of our own frustration with developments in the world and the bigger questions they bring up.
We felt there was a need for spaces to openly and constructively discuss human issues. In our monthly virtual event we invite friends to watch and explore short feature films and/or talks highlighting certain dilemmas so we can all have an open discussion.
Now in our 11th chapter, here are some of the short films and themes we have covered:
- Home Sweet Home, on dehuminzation, dispossession, home, and memories
- The Danger of a Single Story, on misrepresentation, confirmation bias, and othering
- Our Kind of Love, on arranged marriage, agency, tradition, and the power of choice
These themes have sparked engaging debates and provided opportunities to explore diverse viewpoints with guests and friends around the globe.
