Cups of Talks are intercultural conversations in English taking place every second Thursday, the idea of which is to integrate the students of our University. The club was established by the Department of International Partnerships and Educational Mobility, and is hosted by students of various faculties. The initiative is supported by the Team for students with disabilities and the University Center for Support and Personal Development and the Mentor for students prof. Dariusz Pniewski.
Cups of Talks arose as an answer for the students’ needs. After pandemic time we all are hungry of participation in some activities with other people. That’s why, also for the purpose of NCU international and polish students’ integration, we created an opportunity of intercultural conversations in different languages, with a priority to English language as a language of talks.
