Weekly language cafés in German, run and supervised by native speakers on a voluntary basis. In addition to improving language skills, the project offers a platform for intercultural learning and exchange outside the curriculum.

The workshops support international students in recognizing intercultural misunderstandings of linguistic origin, understanding their causes and finding possible strategies to act appropriately.
