Talking to New People

Talking to New People is a set of online experiences where you can learn and practice social and relationship skills with other students.

All U of T students are eligible to participate.

There are two different offerings to meet your needs:

Talking to New People (4 Week Group Intensive)

This experience brings eight people together who don’t know each other for four weeks to practice relationship-building tools and strategies so participants can make connections.

Groups run for 1.5 hours each week. Each group will be facilitated by a peer mentor. These sessions will be a hybrid format of online and in person.

Register to join a Talking to New People Fall 2024 cohort by October 29.

Talking to New People Online Workshop

This one-time 1.5 hour workshop will help you develop the skills you need to make new connections and manage fear and anxiety that comes along with it. In this workshop, we will teach you how to make new connections and you will practice these skills so that you’ll leave with experience and confidence that will help you continue talking to new people.

Please note there are specific workshop time(s) that cater to both undergrad and graduate/professional students.

Registration information for the 2024/25 academic year coming soon.
