Welcome back! We hope you feel like part of our Context community by now…but, what is a community? And how do we effectively create a community when most of our life is virtual? On this weeks episode of the Culture Cast, hosts Yuchen and Stewart and joined by Yasmin Wilnis, an expert in international community building.

Yasmin is the founder of a unique startup called the Year of Growth (formerly called the University of Life) which has the mission to support international students in a variety of ways. Whether you’re on campus or at home, the Year of Growth has something for you.

Throughout the episode, Yasmin gives us some really interesting insights into her journey, touching upon the transition from the corporate world to the startup space and how those two different areas carry their own cultural expectations. We also dig in and hear about everyones favourite word for 2020-2021, unpacking them and understanding why words are so important for constructing reality.
