The speed-friending activity aims to facilitate meaningful connections between exchange students and foster a sense of community. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where students can comfortably engage, make friends, and ease their transition into their new academic and social setting.
Participants had the opportunity to choose between two time slots for the event. Each session lasted 1.5 hours, during which they engaged in multiple short conversations, rotating between different tables. The structure of the event involved rounds of 5-minute conversations, ensuring that everyone interacted with a variety of people throughout the session. To guide the conversations, we provided a set of fun and engaging questions at each table. After each round, participants rotated to a new table, which guaranteed that they met and talked with many different people, creating a dynamic and enjoyable social experience.
