Middlesex University (MDX) Dubai celebrated the launch of its 3rd Annual Language and Culture (LC) Exchange Fair last week.
The innovative initiative connects students and staff who hail from different countries and speak different languages, offering them the chance to share knowledge and learn from each other.
This year’s programme featured a diverse array of languages, including Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, American Sign Language (ASL), Spanish, French, Korean, and Mandarin.
About the LCExchange Programme
The LCExchange programme aims to foster an environment where students can learn from each other through informal classes and engaging activities. All activities are student-led, ensuring an authentic and relatable learning experience.

The programme offers a valuable opportunity to meet new people, build professional networks, and increase employability - all at no cost for MDX Dubai students.
Participants also receive a Certificate of Participation from the London campus as recognition of their involvement.
