“MULTILINGUAL WORLD CAFÉ” EVENTS BEGIN

The Service Learning Office of UM has begun a series of events that aim to bring university students, staff and international students of UM together to exchange information and get to know each other through English.

Secondary school students can also take part in organising and carrying out the event as part of their service learning commitment: paired up with a university student, they help lead discussion and provide appropriate decorations and materials.

This monthly event is held at the Experience Centre (Building A/3, above the Rácsos snack bar). The topics will vary from month to month. The main aim is to build a community among participants and to experience successful communication in English.

The topic of the first get-together was tourism in Miskolc, with groups sharing information and ideas on what to do and see in and around town. Participants switched tables every 15-20 minutes, with a different topic at each table: tourist sites, cultural activities, entertainment.

The Service Learning Office welcomes all – including international students – to other activities that they sponsor, including a board game club and a crafts group. You can find out more by email (koszi@uni-miskolc.hu) or by keeping your eyes open for posters and flyers around campus.
