“Hello, Cultural Agents Community! I’m excited to share some recent session updates with you all. We’re Nandavanam, a Toronto-based community organization where we embrace asset-based community-led development (ABCD philosophy) to enrich our community “garden” (that’s what our name means in Tamil!). We hosted a unique wellness workshop for five families, focusing on the Pre-Texts protocol. Unlike typical sessions that separate age groups, we brought families together in one vibrant group, exploring the intergenerational dynamics of learning. This experiment unfolded in our garden of growth, leveraging collective wisdom to enhance mental health and well-being through practical tools and creative engagement. We focused on families of the Telugu diaspora but we look forward to expanding this programming to the larger South Asian and immigrant communities in Canada.”.
