Ugnayan means connection in Tagalog or Filipino language.
Ugnayan Cards for Connection were created as a companion in cultivating connection with ourselves, others and the world through more meaningful and liberating reflections and conversations.
The deck includes 96 thought-provoking questions, written in both Tagalog & English, and a short guide to help you facilitate a more connecting space for yourself and others.
Through 12 themes inspired by wellbeing science, Filipino psychology, language and culture, and 96 open-ended questions in Tagalog and English, Ugnayan invites you to create space for intentional grounding and joyful growth.
By reconnecting with our own stories, and listening to that of others, we hope to generate more empathy for ourselves and for each other towards a more mindful, authentically expressed life, and a more connected and compassionate world.
Ugnayan Cards is a Good Design Award Philippines 2024 winner for Object Making and Image Making
