The First Session: What Calls Out To You?
Track 1
Imposter No More: A Reflective Path to Career Empowerment Whether it is determining our career pathway, finding employment, managing transitions, dealing with imposter syndrome or workplace challenges, employment woes is real.
Through hands-on exercises, stories and reflection, this session serves as a means for us to gain insights into the personal strategies that we need to navigate uncertainties in relation to our careers. Be part of a supportive environment and experience that fosters inclusion and empathy where everyone from all backgrounds can thrive. |
Track 2
Moments with Frames: Honouring memories, finding meaning in our everyday lives In the rush of modern life, we often move so quickly that we risk forgetting our roots — the people, places, and moments that have shaped us into who we are today.
Through the camera lens, we will reconnect with our personal histories and rediscover how our past continues to inform and enrich our present. Take a pause from everyday noise to explore basic photography as a mindful practice of slowing down and discovering the beauty of life and the little things we often miss. |
Track 3
Beyond Okay Growth Circles: Exploring relationship with self, family and others We often respond with “I’m okay” — even when we’re not. But what lies beyond okay? How do we move beyond the surface to connect more meaningfully?
Through a short film from the Mental Health Film Festival and growth circles, we’ll explore the everyday complexities of our relationships—with self, family, and others - and what it means to truly be well. Leave with fresh perspectives, stronger empathy, and the social skills to support both yourself and others in showing up authentically. |

The Second Session: Follow Your Curiosity
Track 1
Power-Up Your Passion: A Journey of Purpose Through Play Celebrate the journey of a passionate individual with disabilities whose love for Super Mario transcended obstacles and became a source of purpose and perseverance.
Through an activity, explore the Japanese concept of Ikigai and transform what you love into simple, creative game concepts. Embrace what makes you different to discover what makes you powerful. Come with a willingness to play, imagine, and create, and walk away with a personalized game idea or prototype that showcases your unique story, strengths, and potential. |
Track 2
Own Your Narrative: Reclaim Control to Direct Your Life The stories we tell — about who we are, where we’ve been, and what we’re capable of — shape how we live and see ourselves. But what if the script you’ve been following isn’t the one you truly believe in?
In this interactive workshop, flip the script of stories we know, and bring storyboards to life by creating a short film with a twist. Step into the role as the director of your life. Challenge the storyline and reclaim control of your narrative. Come ready to play, reflect, and reclaim the pen. Because your story isn’t finished — and you get to decide where it goes next. |
