Karen Cultural Workshops
Understanding a culture means learning its history, traditions, and way of life. Our cultural workshops go beyond language to explore what makes Karen culture rich and meaningful. Led by cultural experts with lived experience, each workshop offers an engaging look at different aspects of Karen heritage, from historical events and traditional customs to festivals, arts, and food. These sessions are perfect for educators, healthcare workers, social service professionals, or anyone who wants to work more effectively with Karen communities.
