Cultural Coffee Club

Words by Emile Boeke (she/her) and Karina Kartono (she/her)

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue au Cultural Coffee Club!

Halo teman-teman, gimana kabarnya?

What is CCC?

Our club is catered towards refugee-background and international students. We meet weekly and cover a range of different topics related to student life while engaging in different activities such as board games, puzzles, crocheting, pot painting, and more!

My name is Emilie and I am one half of CCC. I am half French and half Dutch but am originally from the beautiful Aotearoa. I am studying Psychology and Criminology here at Vic and love learning about why people function the way they do! I absolutely love talking about deep stuff with other like-minded individuals. So, with that in mind, if you’re ever keen to talk about the deep stuff, boring stuff, funny stuff, hard stuff, or even just to grab a cuppa, come find us at CCC to yarn about it!

I’m Karina and the other half of CCC. I came from Indonesia a few years ago, but I’ve been super lucky to be able to call Wellington my home! I’m currently in my third year and, just like Emilie, I’m also a Psych student and I’m taking Japanese as my other major. I love board games, conversations, meeting new people, and bonding over stories. If you ever find yourself wanting to chat about uni work or life in general over some relaxing pastime like painting or board games, you are welcome to come along to our catch-ups weekly!

Hot drinks, fruit, and snacks are also provided 😊
