Exchange: Distribution of Toolkits
The toolkit aims to foster not only individual well-being but also a sense of community connection. Toolkits will be distributed at Cambodian Buddhist temples. There will be a Toolkit Exchange Event once a month where people can bring their used toolkits and exchange them with others through a Buddhist offering ceremony. This creates a space for shared learning, support and cultural exchange. During these sessions, people can share the toolkit and discuss their experiences.
Here's how I plan to distribute the toolkit:
- Our local Cambodian Buddhist temples will serve as primary distribution place for the toolkit. Temples are often act as a source of the Cambodian community’s main social hub to connect culturally and also find spiritual support.
At the monthly Toolkit Exchange Events there will be open discussions to share your experiences using the toolkit and use the toolkit in a group setting. It will allow participants to share personal journeys, ask questions, and offer support to one another. This will also be the time where the sign-in sheet is used and the toolkit owner can write words of encouragement to the next person receiving the toolkit. Through discussion, participants can learn different ways to utilize the toolkit and discover practices that resonate most with them and also finally, offer the toolkit to the next person in that event.
