The aim of Tandem meetings is to foster language exchange between international students, as well as meet new people and experience other cultures in a non-formal learning environment.
Tandem is a series of reoccuring meetings hosted once or twice a month, each with their main topic. Before the event, participants are divided into tandem pairs, based on the languages they speak and can teach and those they would like to learn.
At the beginning of the meeting participants were equipped with prepared guideline worksheets with a lot of examples in the broad topic of food, such as how to communicate in a restaurant, traditional foods from the person's country and many more useful phrases. Throughout the event they had the opportunity to exchange the knowledge and experiences, while learning another language from the other person, also having the opportunity to practice their speaking skills.
