Are you a new international student?  Would you like to learn about other cultures, improve your language skills and settle into UK life?

Apply to become a mentee for Culture Connect peer mentoring scheme*. There are a wide range of social projects, clubs and support available to you on campus and in Sheffield. This is an opportunity to enhance your social life, improve your English and learn about different cultures.

You could discuss

• ways to meet British students, other international students and local people
• British culture and differences from your home country
• extracurricular activities and community events
• small talk and making friends
• other places to get support

As a  mentee (student being mentored/ helped) you will meet your mentor (student doing the mentoring/ helping), regularly at university, a local cafe or other venue of choice. Being a mentee involves sharing your experiences with your mentor, two-way learning and being open to challenge where necessary.

There will be regular training opportunities and networking events to support you.  As a volunteer for the university, you are eligible to apply for the Hallam Award, which is highly regarded by employers.

Read some student case studies about the scheme and apply for the scheme. The deadline to apply is Wednesday 8 October at 5pm

*Please note: places are strictly limited. If you do not get selected, there may be other opportunities later in the year.
