Marwan - Culture as a responsibility and a cause to pass down

“The Big Blend” is a podcast about merging cultures, identity and transmission.&nbsp;Here, you’ll listen to heart-to-heart testimonies and useful tips from parents, kids and experts that explore neo-cultures, the sense of home and the feeling of belonging. All with the purpose of raising wonderful multicultural people. And more importantly: open-minded, curious and tolerant people.It takes courage to pass down more than one culture, so it’s important to know that we are not alone.&nbsp;We talk about growing up at the intersection of cultures, teaching several languages to your kids, selecting the traditions and norms to pass down and shaping new blended cultures.The parents' stories are the ones with the blue thumbnail, the expert's stories are the ones with the pink thumbnail, and the life stories are the ones with a purple thumbnail...The Big Blend’s website: https://www.thebigblend.co/&nbsp;The Big Blend’s instagram page: https://instagram.com/thebigblend_podcast?utm_medium=copy_link&nbsp;Brand design by Emilien Lubienski (@cheesychoc) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
