Our Asian at Condé Nast ERG hosted a conversation in collaboration with our Parents & Caregivers ERG with New York Assemblywoman Grace Lee on writing culture into policy and recognizing Lunar Year. Grace Lee discussed the value of recognizing Lunar Year and how she successfully passed legislation that uplifts a community. Signed by Governor Hochul, this legislation now requires public schools statewide to close on Lunar New Year, allowing opportunities for both celebration and education. Condé Nast extends our warmest wishes to all who are celebrating Lunar New Year. We embrace diversity and the richness of cultures that make our community vibrant and inclusive. We recognize the significance of Lunar New Year and the traditions that accompany it, and we celebrate with our colleagues around the world. This joyous occasion marks the beginning of a new lunar calendar year, symbolizing fresh beginnings, prosperity, and good fortune. It's a time for reflection, gratitude, and setting intentions for the year ahead. May the Year of the Dragon bring auspicious opportunities and exciting advancements for all.

Award Winning Human-Centred Pathmaker | Navigating Change and Innovation | Helping Organisations through Education & Design Thinking | Strategising the Future of Human Centred Collaborations in Asia
PRESERVING CULTURE WHILE ENCOURAGING INNOVATION - Day 5 of the Lunar New Year Kneeling in front of parents during Lunar New Year is a traditional sign of respect and filial piety in many Asian cultures. It’s a way for children to express gratitude and reverence towards their parents for their love, sacrifices, and guidance throughout the year. I’ve been taught to do so since I was young. This act symbolizes humility, acknowledging the parents’ wisdom and authority, and it often accompanies gestures like presenting gifts or offering well-wishes for the new year. It emphasises the importance of family and honoring one’s elders. Maintaining culture while navigating change is vital because it serves as a bridge between the past and the future, providing a sense of identity, belonging, and continuity in times of transformation. Culture is not static; it evolves over time, influenced by various factors such as globalization, technology, migration, and societal shifts. However, amidst these changes, preserving cultural traditions, values, languages, and customs helps communities retain their heritage and collective memory. Ultimately, preserving culture while crossing boundaries of change honors the past, enriches the present, and empowers future generations to embrace their heritage while embracing the possibilities of the future. CHALLENGE: How might we be able to develop deeper identities by developing new practices and customs? All the #BEST for your next #CHALLENGE and #PIVOTAL moment! May we always continue to share with EMPATHY, SINCERITY and LOVE! Wishing you an ABUNDANT year of JOY, HOPE and WISDOM! #human #humanity #humancentredness #thrudifferentlens #Changemaker #designthinkers #Empathy #iteration #lifelonglearning #leap #leadership #learningbydoing #boundarycrossing #boundarybroker #DTCulture #innovation #change

Vietnam is one of the few markets in the world uses both solar calendar (based on Earth’s rotation around the sun in a year) and lunar calendar (based on the moon’s phases), so we celebrate two occasions of new year every year. But we don’t just celebrate lunar calendar only for the chance to have two celebrations, most Vietnamese business owners and leaders still use lunar calendar as an inseparable measure of timing. While we ingtegrate deeper with international markets and businesses, and solar calendar is used in our daily work and activities, important matters such as inaugurations, signing contracts, joining dates, and discussion openings etc are still being timed in alignment with lunar calendar. Having another new year occasion gives us another chance to encounter and re-enforce the spirit of renewal. More than ever, we are very much ready to kick-start the year of the Dragon “Giáp Thìn” with our clients, partners, and colleagues! Fun guess: Can you spot at least 3 dragons in this photo? :)

Enjoy this little sharing I've created about different cultures and #companyculture practices appreciated by employees like myself. It takes a lot of time and effort + creativity to create a simple post like this - from research on content to content creation and editing (ie self editing and proofing again and again); connecting to regional colleagues for photos; photo selection and editing; selecting the appropriate music, etc. Comes with passion for the job 😍 👍 #MakinoEmployeeExperience #Makinoaroundtheworld #employeeengagement #contentmarketing
Get to Know 👉 Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. Known as the Spring Festival in China or Chinese New Year in East Asian countries, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea — it is the most important annual celebration. 🎊 “New Year, New You” as the saying goes, and the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Koreans take this seriously when it comes to the Lunar New Year as it is the start of a brand-new lunar year. It is believed that these festive traditions are essential to start the new year off on the right foot. 🧧 At #Vietnam offices, we pray for a successful new year with prosperity and good health, and gifting each other “li xi” (or lucky money) in red envelopes as a wish of luck and good things to happen to them in the new year. 🧧 At HQ #Singapore offices and #China offices, our management practise a symbolic custom of spreading the festive joy by giving red envelopes or red packets (containing cash gifts) to our employees and convey best wishes for a prosperous start in the new year. 🔥 The significance of the red envelope is actually the red paper itself, rather the cash gift inside. In Eastern Asian cultures, red colour represents fire and symbolises good luck and prosperity. 🏮 As this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations end today, this 15th day of celebration is known as元宵节 which marks the first full moon of the New Year. Because lanterns are lighted and carried, it is also known as the Lantern Festival. 🌝 Actually 元宵 has another meaning. In Chinese, 元 can mean "first" and 宵 usually refers to "night". So 元宵 literally means the first night that we can see the full moon in the lunar new year. It symbolizes the arrival of spring and the end of the Chinese New Year celebration. 🥣 On this day, families gather and eat tangyuan (汤圆) – glutinous rice balls in sweet soup – symbolising reunion. 𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 元宵节快乐! 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏! 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑 𝑮𝒐𝒉 𝑴𝒆𝒊! 👍Follow #MakinoAroundtheWorld to know us better. #EmployeeEngagement #CultureMatters #festival #CNY2024 #HappyLunarNewYear #DragonYear
