0. Prism Studiosâ language events calendar
Each month, Prism Outreach Studio updates its language events, or language opportunities, calendar. It is interactive and free - this way, you know all the different language events happening in Rennes and online.
Click below to see our language opportunities calendar:
1. Prism Outreach Studio: Café des Langues
The Rennes CafĂ© des Langues is a grassroots initiative powered by Prism Outreach Studio, dedicated to bringing language learning into the real worldâone conversation at a time. Every other Friday, we gather at a regular location to connect language lovers, learners, and locals in a warm, open environment. With over 10 languages spoken, small group settings, and a welcoming vibe for introverts and extroverts alike, our language cafĂ©s are about practice, connection, and confidenceânot perfection.
More than a language exchange
At Prism Studios, we believe in Open-World Language Education (OWLE)âlanguage learning thatâs free, exploratory, and community-driven. The CafĂ© des Langues is where that vision comes alive. Whether you're a beginner, fluent speaker, or somewhere in between, our cafĂ©s provide a low-pressure space to speak, listen, and grow in your language journey.
All are encouraged to joinâno registration, no fee, just people and language.

Why it matters
CafĂ© des Langues is more than an eventâit's part of a bigger philosophy. By building confidence through conversation, these cafĂ©s embody Prism's mission to bridge research and real-world impact. They connect the personal learning journeys of Prism Language Studio with the applied research of Prism Research Studio, creating a full-circle outreach experience where learners and educators alike evolveâtogether.
2. Teaching observations and practicum
As part of our Prism Research Studio mission, we offer free observation opportunities for language teachers, new and experienced, to observe advanced teaching methodologies and strategies in action, with a short discussion after the class. This is a unique chance to see how confidence is co-constructed in authentic, informal environments.
Each observation is free, with weekly availabilities. Observers may receive an attestation de stage dâobservation for their studies or CVs. Each class lasts one hour, and observers are allowed to observe up to 5 classes a week with a 15-30 minute recap and reflection session every week (to be scheduled with the teacher, likely put at the end of a series of classes).
Practice your teaching methods: observed teaching practicum
If you are signed up for observations, you will also have the opportunity to practice your teaching with live, online, 45-minute weekly classes!
Where? On Google Meet
Participants? We will change the class type for you each time to give you a diversified experience.
Time? Every Thursday evening (block 6:30pm to 9pm) or Saturday (block 10:30am to 1pm). You will teach ONE 45-minute class online to a group of learners (max 4 people) with feedback from the Prism Studios team before and after the class.

3. Monthly reading club
Reading as resistance, reflection, and reconnection.
Each month, the Prism Outreach Studio hosts an open-discussion reading club designed to bridge language, culture, and community. We explore one book per month â each book discusses a different theme, and conversation is without limits or judgment.
More than just reading, this is a space to connect, reflect, and growâwith no pressure to be âfluentâ or âacademic.â Whether you're multilingual, learning, teaching, or simply curious, you are welcome here.
đïž Meets monthly on Zoom
đŹ Discussions include guided prompts and open conversation
đ Multilingual texts and translations provided whenever possible
Reading isnât just practiceâitâs a practice of power, empathy, and voice.
4. Monthly movie club
Cinema as language, memory, and meaning.
Once a month, we gather to watch and discuss a film that explores different themes. Chosen to reflect diverse voices and global perspectives, each film becomes an opportunity to go farther with languages.
The Monthly Film Club is part of our commitment to community-based, reflective language engagement. No lectures. No jargon. Just real conversation, grounded in lived experience and open-hearted exchange.
đïž Monthly screening + live discussion
đïž Films selected with subtitles and accessibility in mind
đ€ Open to allâlearners, educators, families, and friends
Because language isnât just spokenâitâs felt, seen, and shared.

6. Free English Confidence Classes on YouTube
Outreach via free lessons: Confidence, curiosity & real-world connection
At Prism Language Studio, we believe that language is a rightânot a luxury. Too many learners are excluded from quality education because of where they live, what they can afford, or how traditional classrooms make them feel. Thatâs why weâve created a growing library of free English lessons on YouTube, open to all, forever.
These classes are part of our mission to make language learning more inclusive, human, and empoweringâespecially for those who need it most. Theyâre designed for anyone who wants to build confidence, express themselves more freely, and connect with others across cultures and borders.
Why free classes?
Because language opens doorsâand everyone deserves a key.
Offering free classes reflects our commitment to:
Access for all: Quality education shouldnât be gated by cost or geography.
Social impact: These videos support learners who might not otherwise have the chance to study formally.
Community building: Free lessons are an invitation into a global network of learners, not a one-way tutorial.
This is more than contentâitâs outreach, equity, and real-world support, in line with our broader work in language education, research, and community development.
What you can find on the free YouTube channel
Interactive lessons: Engaging videos that promote active learning.
Practical vocabulary: Words and phrases you will actually use across several domains.
Cultural insights: Understanding the nuances of English in different contexts.
Community engagement: Opportunities to connect with fellow learners.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, our channel offers a supportive space to grow and thrive in your English learning journey.
