Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange - Social Circles
3 years after #metoo, where are we in terms of gender relations?
Social Circles offers short dialogue exchange opportunities, bringing together people from various backgrounds, interested to participate in a series of online small group discussions about key issues that matter to youth in the world today.
The activity has a duration of 12 days, including 2 online live group meetings, activities and assignments. The live online sessions are led by trained online dialogue facilitators and take 2-hours each. Participants will get to know each other and discuss the Social Circle theme of the month.
Participation is free of charge and you does not require prior experience with Virtual Exchange. Eligible individuals that want to take part can apply independently. They can apply to join as many topical Social Circles as they want, or just try it once to get a taste of Virtual Exchange.
Start: 30th November 2020
Finish: 11th December 2020
Live sessions: 4th & 11th December 2020

Language Buddy System
The University of San Jorge, one of our partner universities in Spain, is offering current Cardiff Met students, along with students from a wide variety of other universities, to be a part of a language exchange programme.
The concept? Simple: you get matched up with a student who speaks the language you want to improve, and you speak in that language for half of the session, then English for the other half. The idea is to get native speakers to help each other improve and exchange ideas. This is entirely online and free.
