Italian Version
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 (8 to 10 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 organised for Moderators, aimed at helping with group management skills and giving indications on the choice of topics of discussion.
During the second semester of 2020/21, the Conversations take place online.
Who can take part?
All students at the University of Padua, including exchange and PhD students, as well as administrative staff, academic staff and SCU Volunteers. Participation is free upon registration.
