The "Babel Tea", an event organized by the Cultural Association Entropia with the support of the volunteers of the Universal Civil Service included in the new "Students Without Borders 2" project, returns at the DAM of the University of Calabria. Starting from Wednesday 22 January 2020, every week, from 17:30 onwards, students of different nationalities will meet at the DAM (polifunzionale building) with a cup of tea: it will be a moment of aggregation and informal training and above all a way to eliminate linguistic and cultural barriers. A great moment to integrate the different cultures present on the campus and to practice languages, useful both for Italians who intend to learn or improve linguistic abilities and for international students interested in learning or improving Italian.
Last year's Babel Tea hosted over a hundred students from China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, Ecuador, Paraguay, Turkey, Morocco, Argentina, Libya, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, Kurdistan, United States, Mozambique, Yemen, Iran, Vietnam, Portugal, the Netherlands, Syria, Madagascar and many other countries. Students who, in addition to being enriched from a cultural and linguistic point of view, have found a friendly and welcoming place in which they can spend every moment of the day not only during the events, a place in which many friendships were born and continued even outside of it. Conversation tables are an opportunity to get involved, to test your skills and get out of your comfort zone and the virtual world.
The "No Borders Students" are pleased to invite all the students of the Campus to take part in the Babel Tea. To stay updated on the projects' activities (as Linguistic Tandem, International Jam Session, intercultural evenings, urban trekking, etc) there is Entropia DAM page and the group “No Borders – Studenti Senza Frontiere” on Facebook.
