Let’s Talk International Partnerships Fireside Chat – First 48 Hours: Screening & Discussion – May 30, 2024

This documentary chronicles the first 48 hours of selected international students from departing their countries of origin to their initial days when they arrive in Toronto. Surprises, anxiety, joy, tips and funny revelations all describe the incredible trajectory of learners who have left their home. This film is the result of a project run by the Centre for International Experience and led by students from the Innovation Hub. It is intended to document and share with the broader community what it means to be new to a university, a culture and a country. Some of the students from the documentary will be participating in the fireside chat and will discuss some of their post-production thoughts as they now look back at their initial experience.
