Follow your curiosity to create foreseeable and unimaginable possibilities for yourself and others!
This interactive online session is based on Van's recent TEDx Talk, recalling a personal family story of how following curiosity in a refugee camp created an unimaginable future for her family and thousands of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants over the last four decades. Using interactive tools, we will bring to surface something you have been curious about, but maybe have pushed aside because of challenges, fear of failure, or fear of success! We will then walk through the framework of “following curiosity,” “asking what if?,” and taking small steps towards that curiosity to create possibilities -- even possibilities we cannot see!
We will conclude by creating an ARTifact to represent the wildest possibility that can be imagined if you choose to follow your curiosity.
