Café activities
The main point is to meet foreign students and to improve French or Chinese level depending on the participants. We try to put in place some activities for the one who would like to do other things rather than speak. Some meetings will be focused on a main theme, like a trip in China, Chinese students will help French to plan their trip, to give advices on spot to visit. They can also share Chinese or French music. Board games evening, cooking recipe, and a lot of other activities are planned. This café is also the opportunity for new students to meet people who can help them. For example the previous year, we have helped Chinese students to find a place, explain to them French administration, or read their CV and cover letter. We also help them to find nice spot to visit around Nantes. Those meeting are interesting for everyone, because everybody is welcomed and can asked questions about French life or China, and improve language level. Each participant is free and also encourages suggesting new activity ideas!
