ENLIGHT Network Language and Intercultural Virtual Exchange (ENLIVE)

ENLIVE is a virtual exchange project run by the Département de Langues, Lettres et Cultures  Bordeaux University. Guided by facilitators, participants engage in weekly synchronous discussions in English as a lingua franca context. Together, students collaborate actively during sessions, build relationships, discuss current social issues and work towards a micro social media campaign. Students may choose from a range of areas to explore, such as gender and education, science in society or disability and accessibility.
