Ireland.
Meeting in Silac was an extremely positive and beneficial one. Teachers were facilitated to collaborate and share methodologies and strategies used in their differing classrooms in the six different educational spheres. The students gained so much on the trip, immediately they were engaged and enthralled by the differing educational rules, cultures, history. Students pursued stimulating opportunities for learning, both inside and outside of the classroom, such instances were visiting cultural sites, historical sites in Silac, engaging in the Slovakian classroom, presenting to the partner students “A normal day in Banagher College”. The students gained so much from the week valuable life-skills, education, friendship and international experience. The trip increased their motivation to learn about differing countries, development of cultural awareness and open-mindedness. We are indebted to Alzbeta, the teachers and the host families for welcoming the Irish group.
