What are Global Conversations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fun informal conversation sessions led by chaplains focused on learning about each others\u2019 cultures, improving conversation and social skills, developing cross-cultural relationships,\u00a0build closer connections within the university community and becoming truly global citizens.<\/p>\n

An opportunity to gain confidence in communicating in a safe, encouraging environment. Bring your questions and be prepared to participate, make friends and gain an understanding of other cultures.<\/p>\n

Mutually beneficial for both domestic and international students. A great opportunity for international students to practice their English conversation skills. All are welcome to join this informal and flexible group.<\/p>\n

What do you mean they are back?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global Conversations have typically been held as face-to-face events at the Oasis Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But we had to shut the Oasis Centre because of Coronavirus (DAMN YOU SMALL VIRUS!).<\/p>\n

However, over the past couple of weeks we have slowly started the process of getting some of the Oasis programs online at our FLO topic – https:\/\/flo.flinders.edu.au\/course\/view.php?id=63157<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the programs we are getting back online first is Global Conversations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Global Conversations is BACK ! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you missed connecting with your Oasis friends?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next Tuesday (5th May) at 2pm-3pm we will be back – but differently!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join Deb, one of the Oasis Chaplains, for an Online Global Conversation Catch-up<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay for the hour or drop in to say \u201cHi.\u201d ALL students welcome ! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hope you can join us in Collaborate on the Oasis Online FLO page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sessions will repeat each week on Tuesday from 2pm-3pm<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
