Conversazioni CreAttive is an alternative way of practicing your foreign language speaking skills in a fun and informal environment.
The University Language Centre organises small conversation groups (max 10-12 people) in several languages.
Learners and a moderator (a mother tongue student) will be present at each meeting. Moderators will provide conversation points and will coordinate the debate. A preliminary meeting will be organized for Moderators, aimed at helping with group management skills and giving indications on the choice of topics of discussion.
