There is no Talk About on 5 April. We will meet again on Monday 12 April at 7.30 pm.

Easter is one of the two most important festivals celebrated in the UK but it can be a very confusing time for international students who come from countries where it is not celebrated. How do British people celebrate Easter and what do the different symbols mean? Come and join our discussion on Monday 29 March.

There is no doubt that we are all conditioned in our attitudes towards work. What do you think are the most ‘honourable’ jobs? Do you think that some kinds of work are dishonourable? Let's talk about it.

Should we be concerned by the vast amounts of money such research demands at a time when 50% of our planet’s people still live in severe poverty and 80% live with significant poverty? Does space exploration distract from this appalling human reality? What do you think?

We all believe that the committing of a crime deserves some kind of response but should that response always be punishment? What are the alternatives to punishment and when is it appropriate to use one of them?

Environmental issues are now more urgently on our minds, in the speeches of politicians, on the agenda of international conferences and the subject of innumerable articles, arguments and anti-government protests than ever before. It is good to have the opportunity to discuss these issues, express our personal opinions and see if there are conclusions that we share.

On Monday 8 February at 7.30 pm, We'd like to celebrate this festival in a very special way -- meet on Zoom but will give you a goody bag before the meeting for using in the meeting. Hopefully, this way gives you more real interaction feeling.

Do we laugh enough in our busy, serious lives? Should we be determined to laugh much more? The truth is that when laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. Let’s talk about what makes us laugh, why many of us don’t laugh enough and ask whether we can do something about that fact.

Are you finding someone to play an online game with you? Are you looking for an opportunity to practice your English AND have fun? There we go! This is for you!

Talk About is back! Join our weekly zoom meetings on Monday evenings to make friends and discuss interesting topics.
