International Conversation Club
Connect. Learn. Make global friendships.
Looking to meet people from around the world, share your experiences, and have meaningful conversations?
International Conversation Club is a welcoming space for all students to connect across cultures, exchange ideas, and build friendships. Whether you are an international or Canadian student, you are welcome to join. Each week, we explore a different topic through casual conversations, activities, and group discussions.
Come on your own or bring a friend. There's no need to register!
What to expect
- Meet students from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds
- Share your perspectives, experiences, and ideas
- Explore interesting topics through conversation and activities
- Learn about different cultures and perspectives
- Build your intercultural communication skills
- Practise conversational English in a relaxed, supportive environment
- Make new friends and connections across campus
The club is not a class or formal language program. English is the main language of conversation, but the focus is on connecting with others, exchanging perspectives, and enjoying the conversation. This fall, we have an exciting addition to the Club’s Program. Beginning October 2, and bi-weekly during the second hour of the club, we will host basic French Conversation. Students will have a chance to learn French vocabulary and phrases to improve their French speaking skills.
