Volangteer

The aim of this programme is to promote the learning and use of minority languages of the different European Union member states, so that visiting students from other countries can learn the language of the host country and use it naturally, in their daily lives. The programme also aims to help foreign students to become integrated in Galician society and in the university community.

The programme is aimed at young foreign students at the USC in receipt of Erasmus grants, and Galician students with an interest in cultural exchange.

The students will form pairs –one foreign student and one from the USC- and will meet to talk about diverse topics (culture, sport, social topics...) as well as to take part in different activities such as going to the theatre or to a sporting event, cultural activities, a visit to a gastronomical festival etc. The aim of these meetings is to use an informal method of learning to encourage interest in the languages of the host country (in this case Galician and Spanish), thereby helping the visiting student to become integrated, as well as to encourage exchange of experiences, knowledge and values.
