Manchester-based conversation clubs. Alice Berkeley (L3 R&T and MES) reports: I am a project co-leader for the Refugee and Asylum Seeker Conversation Club Student Action project. We work with three local charities or organisations in Manchester to deliver informal English practice to refugees and asylum seekers and are currently looking to start more clubs due to high demand from volunteers. I am responsible for the Women Asylum Seekers Together (WAST) conversation club, which offers a safe and friendly space for female learners of all abilities, many of who are from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The clubs are great opportunities to work within the wider Manchester community and to get out of the 'student bubble' of campus.
