The Math & Writing Centre is pleased to announce in partnership with the Centre for Urban Ecology a special edition of our Conversation Circles that will take place on multiple days in the Humber Arboretum and offer English language learners at Humber a chance to practice their listening and speaking skills and to build their vocabulary on topics related to nature, including ecology, climate change and sustainability, as well as the names and characteristics of all kinds of plants and animals.

The sessions will be co-hosted by one of our writing tutors and CUE staff and will take place in the CUE buiding in the heart of the Arboretum.

For March, we are offering four sessions all to be held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.:

• Thursday, March 9
• Monday, March 20
• Thursday, March 23
• Monday, March 27

We ask students interested in joining one of the sessions to scan the QR code in the attached poster to sign up and to show up at the North Campus Math & Writing Centre on the third floor of the LRC no later than 10:30 a.m. on the day of the session. The host tutor will then walk with the students to the CUE building and set up the Nature Conversation Circle upon arrival.

Please share the poster and let students know about this new opportunity for engagement and discovery.
