LANGUAGE TANDEM KICK-OFF MEETING FOR UPV

Te hacemos llegar una iniciativa que puede ayudarte a desarrollar competencias de comunicación intercultural y a practicar o mejorar lenguas extranjeras, de forma gratuita y desde casa. Se trata de una iniciativa de ”internacionalización en casa” de la UPV. Como quizás ya sepas, la UPV forma parte de una alianza de 7 universidades europeas llamada ENHANCE University Alliance. Este consorcio está desarrollando una especie de “supercampus” y trabajando en muchos proyectos: titulaciones más integradas, más facilitad para la movilidad, investigar e innovar juntos para solucionar problemas y retos medioambientales, urbanos, sociales….   Solo por ser estudiante/personal de la UPV, perteneces a la comunidad ENHANCE. ENHANCE ha creado un proyecto de tándems lingüísticos, coordinado por el Centro de Lenguas de la Politécnica de Varsovia (Warsaw University of Technology). Te ofrece la posibilidad de conectar online con estudiantes o personal de otras universidades de la red ENHANCE para hacer intercambios de conversación con hablantes nativos (o con nivel avanzado en la lengua que ofrecen).   El 14 de noviembre (16:00) se ha organizado un kick-off meeting (evento de lanzamiento) para la comunidad UPV, que servirá para dar a conocer el proyecto y para resolver cualquier duda. Te invitamos a conectarte a la charla para conocer el proyecto, y a compartir esta información con cualquier compañero/a de clase o amigo/a que pienses que pueda tener interés (solo para miembros de la comunidad UPV).

¿No puedes conectarte a la reunión el día 14 de noviembre pero te interesa este proyecto?

We are sending you information about an initiative that can help you develop intercultural communication skills and practice or improve foreign languages, free of charge and from home. This is an «internationalization at home» initiative of the UPV.   As you may already know, for a year now, the UPV has been part of an alliance of 7 European universities called ENHANCE University Alliance. This consortium is developing a kind of «supercampus» and working on many projects: more integrated degrees, smoother student and staff mobility, joint research and innovation together to solve environmental, urban or social problems and challenges…   Just by being a UPV student/member of staff, you belong to the ENHANCE community. ENHANCE has created a project of language tandems, coordinated by the Language Center of Warsaw University of Technology. It offers you the possibility to connect online with students or staff from other universities of the ENHANCE network for an online exchange conversation with native speakers (or with an advanced level).   On Monday 14 November (16:00) a kick-off meeting has been organized for the UPV community, which will serve to publicize the project and answer any questions. We invite you to join the online presentation to learn about the project, and to share this information with any classmate or friend you think may be interested (only for UPV members).

Interested in this project but you cannot join the meeting on 14 November? No problem, you can sign up for the language tandems in this link
