A simple wink or a ‘thumbs-up’ feels universal—until it gets you into trouble.
Before you speak, your body has already started a conversation.
Culture deeply shapes how we use gestures, body language, and even personal space. What feels friendly or respectful to you may be interpreted very differently somewhere else.
Our next Future Now session is not about being taught cultural rules—it’s about having a global conversation. We want to learn from each other.
Bring your experience and shared stories to the table:
- Bring One Gesture: What is a signal from your culture that people from another part of the world completely misunderstand?
- Exchange Stories: Connect with facilitators and peers from around the globe to share perspectives.
- Discover Signals: Let’s find out how the same simple gesture communicates respect, confidence, gratitude, or complete awkwardness depending on where you stand.
