Common Conversation
From Saturday, 19 April 2008
To Tuesday, 19 April 2011
12:00 - 16:00 Saturday of each week
Free conversational English classes for asylum seekers and people of refugee status and a social space. We meet every Saturday from 12 noon to 4pm and the lesson runs from 1pm to 3pm and is followed by the meal. Common Conversation is entirely run by volunteers and the students themselves.

We need volunteers! You don't need to come every week (unless you can), once a month would be great. Volunteers can help in any of the following ways:
•    teaching support during the lessons,
•    lesson planning,
•    getting feedback and evaluation from students,
•    keeping a record of topics/areas covered in lessons,
•    cooking and buying ingredients,
•    opening up and closing the building,
•    day to day finances,
•    funding applications,
•    organising volunteers and the rota,
•    publicity,
•    buying resources,
•    organising trips and visits,
•    and in other ways too!

Get in touch if you have any questions, join the group list to be kept up to date with what’s happening, and come along one Saturday (put your name down on the online rota first).
