International Café

Also known as a Globe café or iCafé. A regular (ideally weekly) event, preferably in a neutral venue, where students can meet other international students and local people, who may be students and/or graduates. A safe place without alcohol where games can be played, music enjoyed, cultures introduced, language practiced and, most importantly, friendships made. It is not a place for evangelistic talks or Bible studies but invitations can be given to such activities along with publicity for other activities suitable for international students.
