Journey to Belonging Seminar

Saturday, August 9, 9:30am—12:00pm,
FPC Fellowship Hall

Sponsored by the Mission committee

Empathy. Understanding. Connection.

In a world where migration is a reality for millions, the path to belonging can feel uncertain, lonely, and overwhelming. But what if we could walk in their shoes? What if we could see the world through their eyes?

The Journey to Belonging is more than just a workshop—it’s an immersive experience that invites you to step into the lives of immigrants, refugees, and asylees. Through powerful simulations, personal storytelling, and deep reflection, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those who have been forced to leave everything behind and build a new life in an unfamiliar land.

Journey to Belonging: Empathy and Understanding for Immigrants is not a training for immigrants—it's for everyday people who want to better understand immigration and the experiences of those who come to the United States seeking safety, opportunity, and a new beginning.
