Celebrating South Asian Heritage: Cultural Sharing and Henna Experience
Updated: Sep 4
WEDO GLOBAL was delighted to organise a Cultural Sharing and Henna Experience for staff at Eversheds Sutherland Hong Kong celebrating diversity and South Asian heritage in Hong Kong. The session brought together personal stories and a hands-on henna experience, giving colleagues a chance to pause from their workday and learn more about Hong Kong’s ethnically diverse communities.
Our Cultural Ambassadors shared their personal backgrounds and life stories in Hong Kong, offering staff a closer look at the experiences of the city’s diverse communities. Guided by our Cultural Ambassadors, staff then learned about the origins of henna, the customs and occasions in which it is traditionally used, and its cultural significance.
During the Henna DIY experience, participants had the opportunity to try drawing henna themselves. For some colleagues, it was their first time trying henna; others recalled past experiences and were happy to share with each other. As henna cones moved across hands, so did the conversation — each design became a small doorway into a broader exchange about identity, tradition and belonging.
The Cultural Sharing and Henna Experience offered a meaningful and interactive way to learn more about South Asian heritage. We sincerely appreciate the openness and enthusiastic participation of the Eversheds Sutherland staff. We look forward to creating more opportunities for dialogue, connection and the celebration of diversity as we work towards building a more inclusive Hong Kong.
