International at Home programming focuses on bringing global learning and engagement opportunities to you. The programs allow the Laurier community to connect with each other, as well as partner institutions around the world, to build intercultural knowledge and skills, make new connections and foster new friendships. All without leaving the comfort of home!
Through the Tandem Language Program, you’ll share and learn language and culture with a peer. Partnerships are based on language proficiency and interest, giving you the opportunity to develop skills in a new language while learning in a social way.
Expand your intercultural knowledge and skills by completing the Intercultural Certificate. Modules in the certificate cover topics including concepts of culture, exploring your own culture, intercultural communication, cultural adaptation, and more. And all students who complete the Intercultural Certificate will receive credit on their Laurier Experience Record.
In the Hawk 2 Hawk English Conversation Project, you’ll be paired with English-language learner students in the LEAF program for weekly conversations in English. The conversations will focus on sharing about your cultural experiences while providing LEAF students with an opportunity to practice their English skills.
Open to international and exchange students, Laurier International Cultural Conversations (LICC) is embedded in HR261: Multiculturalism, taught by Laurie Jacklin, and pairs students for conversations around multiculturalism, race and ethnicity, migration theory, and more. It’s also an opportunity for international and exchange students to share more about their experiences.
