This weekly event is a fantastic way of meeting fellow international students and getting to know more about the huge range of peoples and cultures York's global community represents. 

The Social is a relaxed, welcoming space to share cultures, form bonds and build a sense of belonging at York. Each week we will explore a different theme, from culture, creativity and language to food, music, and our other shared experiences.
