An innovative initiative in Surrey, BC, exploring the vital connection between nutrition, cultural identity, and mental health among immigrant youth.
Anchored by the documentary Resilient Roots and complemented by cooking, yoga, gardening, and dance workshops, the project empowered participants with practical skills, stress-management tools, and opportunities for cultural exchange.
Fostering community connections and offering culturally sensitive approaches to wellness, Samskara raised awareness, reduced isolation, and built confidence, while partnerships with groups like DIVERSEcity, Muslim Food Bank, and UBC strengthened its impact.
