The Interchange Institute

This Culture Chat, YOU'RE the presenter.

We're spinning things up with Culture Chat Roulette — no slides, no single speaker. Just a culture prompt, a small group to swap stories with, and a share-back where the magic happens.

The word from another language you wish English had? The food that tastes like home? The moment a cultural assumption tripped you up?

Every time I fly back from visiting home, my suitcase is heavier than when I arrived.

A specific brand of biscuits. A jar of something pickled. The chocolate that doesn't taste right anywhere else.

I've started wondering — did I actually pack this bag, or did my culture pack it for me?

"I don't feel like I can be myself here."

If you've ever heard (or felt) that, you know it's a productivity killer. Human beings are social animals, but when the environment feels unsafe, we prioritize protection over performance.

It’s time to talk about Creating Belonging.

Join us for our next Culture Chat with Alan Headbloom, whose background working with U.S. immigrants offers us an insight into the essence of belonging, who is responsible for the "vibe" of a team and how we can do better.
