Moving to a new country, adapting to a new culture, and adjusting to university life can be overwhelming. That's why we created Culture & Connect, a peer support network for international students. Culture & Connect is run by a diverse group of international students who understand your journey and are eager to help you settle into Birmingham.

Whether you’re looking for guidance, friendship or just a place to be understood, we are here for you. Any international student is welcome to attend, no need to sign-up in advance! Culture & Connect sessions will be held every two weeks, with a mix of discussions and fun activities, to help you feel less lonely and more connected.

If you would like to receive email reminders before sessions, updates, and relevant information about Culture & Connect, please reach out to Jasmine Khodadeen! You can opt out at any time.

Future sessions will be held:

  • Wednesday 29th January
  • Wednesday 12th February (in the Beale Room)
  • Wednesday 26th February
  • Wednesday 12th March
