Lived experience speaker sessions involve a speaker sharing their personal story in a meeting, training, classroom, or community setting.

Sessions focus on lived experience of culture, migration, identity, and navigating systems, helping participants better understand diverse perspectives.

These sessions are well suited to professional development days, team meetings, classrooms, and community gatherings, and can be tailored to the audience and purpose of the session.
