Life is never set in stone, and we face change when we make choices. Once upon a time we would go to different countries for studying, and move to different place for work. In the process, we could make a lot of new friends, but at the same time how do we maintain the relationships with our old friends? The COVID-19 has actually caused a great change in our living environment. We can't go out with friends at any time, which makes the connection between friends so far away. 

In this event, participants will share methods of maintaining long-distance relationships and explore whether these methods can be applied during pandemic. Finally, they could imagine what they want to do with their friends after pandemic. 

We believe that friendship is a source of warmth. Come and join us! Listen to gentle language in the warm spring sun.

Friendship in a New Way is a follow-up to the workshop Kat Vellos Presents the "Friendship Power Pack: How to Create Thriving Friendships During Adulthood", which took place on February 26, 2021. A recording of this workshop is available to members of the CCA community on Panopto.
