Spanish term

"charlas de extensión"

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy academic
I have come across this term in an academic proposal document on activities that form part of an academic project. "Charlas de extensión" seems to mean simply "talks" at university level...not formal classes, but how would this translate into English?
On google have found several Spanish links but not the English:

any suggestions welcome!

Thanks to both answerers ... I followed up on "colloquium" and that fits perfectly. i admit I was quite sketcy on context so thanks for your inputs! It wasn't a sports context, but academic fields - history, with international visiting experts giving talks to groups of students.

Extension Lectures

We need a little more info or a complete sentence to give you the English word.

Because in the US we use for example "University Extension Lectures" specially for those students who need some more credits or points.

Aqui "lectures" no en el sentido de "lecturas" sino de "charlas académicas".

Now, if the word is in a Sport context the translation would be "extension talks".
