Addressing the challenges displaced people face to find work and the global rise of xenophobia — all through one simple solution.
Conversations Unbound provides forcibly displaced people with opportunities to tutor students online in Arabic, French, and Spanish. Students strengthen their language skills through one-on-one conversation, while engaging in meaningful cross-cultural dialogue that encourages them to think critically about forced displacement.

EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS
Empower forcibly displaced individuals as paid online Conversation Partners
We offer displaced people — who are fluent in Arabic, French, or Spanish — the opportunity to work as online language tutors. They conduct conversation sessions with high school and university students studying these languages using our platform.
Conversation Partners receive 100% of their earnings
Unlike every language-learning program out there, Conversations Unbound does not take a comission from the language tutors we work with. Conversation Partners receive all the money they earn from each session.
REIMAGINE LEARNING
Enriching educational experience
We hand pair language learners with Conversation Partners to improve their foreign language skills, engage in rich, cross-cultural dialogue, and think critically about forced displacement.
We integrate the program into university and high school language curricula. But anyone, whether those enrolled in a formal course or learning a language for fun, can work with a Conversation Partner.
We are proud to work with language learners, Conversation Partners, and team members of all different genders, sexual orientations, races, religions, abilities, socioeconomic statuses, geographic locations, and immigration statuses.
