PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

In this online panel and discussion, we will explore Cantonese identities through language, culture, and heritage. We would like to explore such questions as “What does Cantonese identity mean to you?”,  “What is your connection to the Cantonese language and culture?”, and  “How do we preserve Cantonese as a language, culture, and heritage?” Our panel consists of people with various backgrounds, listed down below,  in Cantonese who will bring various perspectives to the discussion.
