«Bite Abroad» explores the intersection of cultural identity, migration, and self-reflection through the design and implementation of Thai dessert workshops. This study is based on interaction design principles and seeks to create a comfortable and inclusive environment for participants to share their cultural identities and migration experiences, especially in Switzerland, and engage self-reflection. Qualitative methods, such as participant observation and interviews are used in this study. It shows that these workshops are able to help participants feel validated, spark curiosity about others' culture and foster a sense of community.
