The Cultural Insight project team worked with Chinese International students last year and they endorsed the workshops saying:
There are several reasons that attracted me to this workshop. The first is the diversification of activities, including games, presentation, critical thinking and stories sharing. Moreover, the staff in the workshop were excellent, sharing their personal stories as incentives to us.
These workshops have helped freshers like me to integrate into English learning and life more quickly. The most useful help was to enhance my confidence in cross-cultural communications.
Rewards

- 10 Greenwich Employability Passport points for each workshop they attend
