Wherever you’re from, you belong!
All current UK and international students can apply to become mentors and mentees. Culture Connect is a great way to meet new people, develop cultural awareness and gain valuable experience for your CV. There will be regular training and social activities. The aim of Culture Connect is to help new students (UK and international) settle into life in the UK and have a positive university experience.
You may need help meeting new friends and adjusting to a new culture and social norms. Your mentor will help you integrate into the community and meet people from different countries, as well as introducing you to the wide network of support available at Sheffield Hallam University and beyond. We encourage students who have taken part in extracurricular activities to get involved as mentors.
This is a great opportunity to:
- get to know someone through a one-to-one supportive mentoring relationship
- get a learning set to discuss challenges and share helpful advice
- develop your cultural awareness and learn about different traditions
- attend social activities and regular soft skills training with other members
- prepare for work in diverse organisations and add to your CV
- gain eligibility for the Hallam Award which is recognised by employers
