Details
At IE, our diverse community is made up of individuals from around the world—many of whom have experienced the profound journey of migration. This event explores the emotional challenges that often accompany migration, including identity shifts, cultural adaptation, and feelings of disconnection.
Through personal stories, expert insights, and practical strategies, we’ll unpack the silent suitcase that migrants carry and foster a supportive space for resilience, growth, and connection in new environments.
Let’s come together as a global community to share, understand, and support one another.
