Language and Culture Society

Voted most improved society 2018! We are a society who are interested in languages and cultures from all over the world.As students in the East End who mainly study medicine, dentistry or other allied courses, we realise from meeting patients and from being in the area, just how ethnically diverse the population is.It is important to us that whichever patients we may meet in the future, we are able to provide them with the best possible healthcare, and therefore, our language workshops allow a basic understanding of key health-related terms and phrases in other languages to allow us to build a better patient rapport.We are also interested in cultures and languages because it is always useful and fun to have a look at the world around you and see just how different other cultures are, from the clothing to the food!Think of it as travelling whilst still remaining in Whitechapel! All for free!  (Well, except for subs – which are only £3!)Our society is extremely student-friendly, with no real compulsory commitment required, simply there to indulge your curiosity and allow you to get away from studies for a while and learn more about the world whilst you’re at it!
