'''What it is'''
The Official Languages Discussion Circles is an initiative developed by the GC Students network to give students working in the Government of Canada opportunities to develop the skills in their second official language. Discussion circles will offer six moderated weekly sessions for students to network with colleagues across departments while practicing their language skills in a safe and informal setting.
The initiative will take place from July 3, 2023, to August 12, 2023.
'''Who can participate'''
Students currently employed in the federal public service through FSWEP, CO-OP, RAP or other student employment programs are welcome to participate.
Participants at any level, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced can take part in the circles. One must be ready to actively discuss with others of their level to participate in the circles.
'''How it works'''
Official Languages Discussion Circles will run for one hour each week for a period of six weeks.
Each week, participants will engage in informal discussions on predetermined topics while learning about the various components of official languages in the federal public service.
The following table presents the weekly schedule and the expected discussion topics:

To keep the conversation fluid and interactive, groups will be led by a moderator. The moderators will lead discussions and ask questions. They will also be there to help participants should they need it
Students who successfully attend all six sessions of the discussion circles will be awarded a certificate of completion.
