Spanish term or phrase: acercamiento
A Spanish tourist board speaks of the schedule of a convention for promoting tourism, after explaining what will take up the first two days:
"....y el resto está dedicado a una parte lúdica que se compone de excursions, visitas técnicas así como un *acercamiento* a los nuevos destinos que intentan potenciar. "

getting to know


Explanation:
"getting-to-know sessions" might fit the bill, or something like that, in fact "introduction" is probably better than the dictionary "approach" IMO
