Cultural Exposure and Appreciation: Movies are a reflection of the cultural, social, and historical contexts they are made in. By selecting films from different countries or cultural backgrounds, the activity can provide participants with a broader understanding and appreciation of global cultures, fostering cultural sensitivity and awareness.
Language Learning and Practice: For international students or participants learning a new language, watching movies in that language can be an engaging way to hear native speakers, learn colloquial expressions, and improve listening skills. Even with subtitles, the exposure aids language acquisition and comprehension.
Social Integration: Movies provide a shared experience that people can discuss and bond over, helping to break the ice among newcomers and facilitating friendships. This is particularly valuable for individuals like Erasmus students, who are new to a country and looking to form connections.
Going to a movie together was a great opportunity to make friends with common interests.
