The Big Duck hosts themed online seminars on cultural understanding.
ONLINE LESSON 1 (OCTOBER 3 10:00AM EST, 10:00PM HKT)
INTRODUCTION:
The Big Duck collaborated with the Wallingford Public Library to host a virtual origami-folding session with the local children. This event was aimed at primary school children and dedicated toward bringing a global perspective to the town, where travel opportunities are limited due to COVID-19. Seeing the world is important! We want to help people see the world while stuck at home.
Special thanks to the wonderful Kari Hamad for making this happen!!!
