What to expect
Couch Conversations (CC) session are on throughout the week with in-person and online options. Join a session that suits you! You can join in one, or a lot – it’s your choice.
- CC sessions are informal, fun and inclusive chats with your peers.
- Sessions are held in small groups, with the aim to make everyone feel comfortable and heard.
- CC connects students from all campuses, countries, study areas and walks of life.
- Whatever your motivation, whether it's to share experiences, develop cross-cultural relationships, practice your English or hear about tips and tricks for work, study and play - everyone is welcome!
- A few student and staff facilitators will be there to simply guide the conversation if required and give it a bit of structure. They can sit back and let the conversation flow, or they can help if there's a topic you'd like to talk about or an activity to help get you started.
- Each session will go for approximately an hour (60 minutes).
- You can drop in and out as you need to.
Once you've registered you'll receive a confirmation email. You'll also receive a reminder email on the day of the session.
