Welcoming students, including those coming from abroad, is a crucial step for successful integration. This is why orientation days, focused on urban games, are an excellent way to create long lasting-bonds from the very first days of the academic year while discovering the city in a playful manner.
Urban games, by forming mixed teams of local and international students, help break the ice and encourage interactions. They provide a relaxed and playful setting conducive to meeting new people, sharing experiences, and discovering the city. These activities help students feel more comfortable and fall in love with the city through fun moments with friends, thereby fostering the emergence of initial friendships.
In addition to strengthening social ties, urban games allow students to become familiar with their new urban environment. Through photo challenges and other interactive activities, they explore iconic places, thereby discovering the city’s culture and history in an original and memorable way.
In summay, urban games during the orientation days for international students are enriching moments of entertainment that help build a cohesive, dynamic, and engaged community in the discovery of their city. They facilitate integration, encourage cultural discovery, and ensure a successful start to the academic year while creating a sense of belonging. So, are you ready to make integration an unforgettable adventure?
