First Unite! Online Language Café starts January 15

If you want to learn a new language, you also have to speak it. Language learning theories argue that language learning takes place unconsciously and by chance through exchanges with native speakers or through contact with authentic language use outside the classroom. The Unite! Online Language Café (UOLC) aims to do just that and invites students from all Unite! universities for the first time on 15 January 2025

Unite! Seed Fund Initiative: Unite! Online Language Café

Unite!’s multilingual and multicultural environment provides an excellent setting for informal language learning which, based on language learning theories, can occur unconsciously and incidentally outside the classroom setting through interaction with native speakers or exposure to authentic language. The Unite! Online Language Café (UOLC) is designed to do just that – easily accessible and voluntary. It fosters informal interactions to promote and encourage students to use and learn all Unite! languages. A virtual space, where meetings are planned, the UOLC will be run by students for students starting on 15th January 2025.

Unite! students call for Improvement of the European rail systems

Europe is at a decisive crossroads in its pursuit of sustainability, with rail transport poised to reclaim its position as a cornerstone of mobility. The U!Train initiative brought together students from nine European universities to confront the challenges and unlock the potential of rail travel. During a collaborative mapathon last september, 28 students identified over 200 points of interest across the European rail network, highlighting areas that urgently need improvement. The culmination of these efforts is the U! Train Manifesto, a set of actionable recommendations aimed at transforming rail transport for a more sustainable and connected Europe.
