Goal of the Activity

 1. Social Integration

Board games help Erasmus (exchange) students meet local and international peers in a relaxed, friendly setting. It’s an easy way to break the ice and reduce feelings of isolation, especially at the start of their stay.

2. Language Practice

Playing games encourages communication in a shared language (often English), helping students improve fluency naturally while having fun.

 3. Cultural Exchange

Many board games reflect aspects of culture, humor, or teamwork. Playing together fosters cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of different communication or problem-solving styles.

4. Building Teamwork and Soft Skills

Games often require collaboration, strategy, and negotiation, which strengthen teamwork and interpersonal skills useful in academic and professional settings.

5. Relaxation and Well-being

Studying abroad can be stressful — board games offer a fun, low-pressure way to unwind and build a sense of community.

Description

The goal is to encourage social interaction, cultural exchange, and teamwork in a relaxed and friendly environment.
