Milford,
from 25th
to 29th
September 2013
This
was the first visit of the Comenius Project “European Passport to
Employability”. Participants arrived on Wednesday 25th
of September. They were collected by a hired bus in Dublin. Visiting
countries met the locals in Letterkenny, 20 km far from Milford.
Students were hosted by local families while teachers stayed in two
hotels of Letterkenny.
Activities
on Thursday started at 9:00 a.m. at the school. Visiting teachers
were picked up by local teachers and students by hosting families.
The first activity was a guided visit to the school, to classes and
to the main facilities. After that, a concert took place in the gym.
Before dinner, the group had lunch in Rathmullan, a village by the
Atlantic 15 km far from the school. After dinner, participants came
back to the hotel and students stayed with the families till next
day. In the evening, teachers had dinner in another typical
restaurant, in Rathmullan again. Finally, all the participants were
brought back to their hotels.
On
Friday 27th
we met again at the school at 9:00 a.m.. The activities began with
the presentation of the students. The presented their schools and
their own countries. It was not possible to finish all the
presentations in the first hour so it was necessary to find another
moment along the morning. Even then, Irish student couldn’t go
ahead with the presentation, and it was decided to do it in the next
visit in Germany. Then, visitors could attend some classes. Around
12:00 pm coordinators held a meeting to agree on some details of the
project and to prepare the tasks for the next meeting in Germany. A
minute of this meeting was written. A bus took the group to Termon to
have a light and fast lunch. In the afternoon, visitors and hosting
students visited the Glenveagh National Park and Castle, an
interesting natural area not far from Milford. We had dinner made in
Lettenkenny. It was possible then, to have a moment of fun for all,
teachers and students. After that, students were collected and
brought home and teachers left for their hotels.
On
Saturday, the group took a bus to Derry in North Ireland,
approximately one hour far from the school. Once there, a local guide
showed the Walls of Derry and explained the history of the city.
After the tour, teachers and students had time to visit the rest of
the city and do some shopping. Back in Letterkenny, students went
back home and teachers had the last dinner in a typical restaurant of
the city.
Next
day, all the visitors left for home.
