"RETURN TO ORIGINS" WORKSHOPS

L'Hybridé offers a series of six workshops including initiation and preparation activities related to the theme of returning to origins via the Zoom platform.

These workshops are intended for people adopted internationally who are thinking or who are in the process of returning to their country of origin in order to find out more about where they come from, or to go in search of of their biological family. The program is also relevant for anyone who has already had this experience and who wants to share it with others. The workshop can thus be used to reflect on what they have experienced and how they have felt since their return and/or the meeting with their biological families.

OBJECTIVE
