Welcome to our Social Club, a fun and engaging course designed for adults looking to connect, learn, and enjoy a range of social activities. Participants are encouraged to take an active role in planning a diverse mix of weekly activities, from trivia and board games to bowling, nature walks, and coffee dates at local cafes. Each term, we also celebrate a few international days, like World Kindness Day or International Cheese Day, adding unique moments to our schedule.

This course provides a supportive environment for building friendships, enhancing social skills, and fostering personal growth, as students collaborate to design their social experiences. Every session promotes inclusivity, encouraging participants to step out of their comfort zones, try new activities, and build lasting connections. By the end of the term, students will have developed valuable social skills, gained confidence, and created unforgettable memories together. Join us for a term filled with laughter, learning, and the joy of community!
