REIMAGINE LEARNING

Enriching educational experience

We individually pair language learners with Conversation Partners to improve their foreign language skills, engage in rich, cross-cultural dialogue, and think critically about forced displacement.

Anyone, whether those enrolled in a formal course or learning a language for fun, can work with a Conversation Partner.

REIMAGINE LEARNING

Integrate Conversations Unbound into curricula

We partner with universities, high schools, and other educational institutions to integrate our conversation programs into their language and/or regional studies curricula. This is our signature program.
