Cups of Talks

Cups of Talks are intercultural conversations in English taking place every second Thursday,
the idea of which is to integrate the students of our University. The club was established
by the Department of
International Partnerships and Educational Mobility, and is hosted by students of various faculties.
The initiative is supported by the Team for students with disabilities and the University Center for
Support andPersonal Development and the Mentor for students prof. Dariusz Pniewski.

Cups of Talks arose as an answer for the students’ needs. After pandemic time we all are hungry of
participation in some activities with other people. That’s why, also for the purpose of NCU
international and polish
students’ integration, we created an opportunity of intercultural conversations in different languages,
with a priority to English language as a language of talks.

We have already talked about:
