Join your Peer Leaders for an exciting hour of discussion where you will see some new faces and make new friends from around the world! Practice your listening and speaking skills. It is your choice if you wish to turn on your microphone or camera. 

What is intercultural competence, and why is it important? Intercultural competence is a valuable asset in an increasingly globalized world where we are more likely to interact with people from different cultures and countries who have been shaped by different values, beliefs and experiences. Join this workshop to learn more about the importance of this increasingly relevant subject. Join us online to attend.

Join your peer leaders in this special edition Conversation Hangout, where we will be celebrating International Women's Day! We will be discussing how far the movement for gender equality has come, how far there still is to go, and the importance of intersectionality. This meeting will be held through Zoom. Join us online to attend.

Practice conversational small talk and make friends with students from students from the University of Waterloo and Renison’s English language programs.

When you join us on online, you will be assigned into a virtual breakout room with a small group of people. You will have 10 minutes to talk with your new friend and ask ‘small talk’ questions (we will provide examples).
