An International #CMEdi Birthday!

Since our epic 3rd Birthday celebrations last month, the birthday wishes from the Global CreativeMornings community have kept coming. It’s all been a wonderful reminder of how wide-reaching and supportive this community that we are part of truly is…

All the way from Mexico, the CMTijuana chapter sent us this video, wishing us a “¡Feliz 3er cumpleaños!”

Two of the newest chapters to join the CM global community also rallied together to make sure they sent us Happy Birthday wishes. Welcome to the community #CMCluj of Romania, and #CMOrangeCounty in California 💙

The CMEdi birthday got even more international during our celebratory event when we got to meet two very special international guests! Catching up with them over the delicious birthday cake and refreshments, we learned a little more about their journey to Edinburgh, and love for the CreativeMornings community!

Visiting from Taiwan, Yu-Tung Chen first joined the CreativeMornings global community at her home chapter #CMTaipei. Currently in Edinburgh whilst on a student exchange programme to the University of Edinburgh, she came along to our CMEdi January event to expand her creative network and reunite with the CM community on the other side of the world!

After attending #CMVilnius in Lithuania for many years, Milda recently moved to Scotland, and her visit to our January celebrations was the perfect way to reconnect. We got to catch up with Milda after the event, and find out a little bit more about what’s kept her love for this global creative community alive! 

What first attracted you to join CreativeMornings Vilnius?

As a creative person, sometimes I find it difficult to start a productive day from early morning. An idea to be inspired as soon as you get from bed sounded more than exciting. Also, coffee and snacks was pretty good attraction as well. Usually it’s hard to find some time for that in a daily rush. Overall it’s like a better version of your ideal morning pleasure of scrolling through your favourite media channels to get updated and inspired.

 What do you love about being a part of this global creative community?

I think the most amazing thing is the ability to be among like-minded people no matter where you are.

 What was your favourite part about the CreativeMornings Edinburgh birthday event?

The general atmosphere. I came to this event alone but definitely didn’t feel lonely. I had a great time meeting new people and enjoyed the speakers very much. Also, I liked the interactive part with little notes what we are anxious about. That little act was freeing indeed!

So, no matter where you’re from, where you’re at, or where you’re going, always remember - everyone is creative, and the Global CreativeMornings community is for us all!

 If you find yourself travelling, or even moving to a new place in the world, go ahead and check to see if there will be a chapter near where you’ll be…

… and don’t forget to send a message back to Edinburgh! We’re all about strengthening those connections, and we may even reach out to discover more about your adventures 🗺️

Here’s to another wonderful year of creative events, all as part of this special global CreativeMornings community!
