community. ICaB offers a safe spaces to meet people of a diverse cultural background who look for opportunities to practice and improve their English language skill. Depending on the number of English speakers, participants are divided into very small groups to share opinions or experiences on a weekly topic. We appreciate those who are open to providing English speaking opportunities to English learners. In our conversations, you are not meeting people who are just learning English, you are meeting courageous people who are specialists, professionals, advocates in their own countries, so it is also a chance for you to widen your perspective about the world and your universe. We have had many enjoyable conversations and have seen friendships being developed through this connection.
