Intercultural workshops: call for applications

Virtual workshops with students from Hong Kong

Join us for sessions in June to:

  • attend workshops on intercultural studies 
  • meet and work with students from Hong Kong
  • gain international experience 

What’s this all about?

As part of 2 online courses for students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University, we are looking for participants to attend practical workshops on intercultural communication. Studying alongside the Hong Kong students, we hope to maximise the scope for a more international outlook through readings and seminars.

ICA consists of weekly conversation sessions with people from all over the world.

Each week there is a particular topic to discuss, with suggested questions sent to participants in advance.

It's also a great opportunity to make new friends and become more knowledgeable about other cultures.

ICA is currently held weekly on Wednesdays (12pm UK Time) and Thursdays (4pm UK Time).
