Over the last number of weeks, the Centre has been hosting a number of Erasmus+ groups from Denmark and Sweden. These groups consisted of Staff and Learner groups, each with their own objectives. As part of the Erasmus+ programme, hosting groups is a fundimental aspect of the programme.
The first group was from our friends from Roskilde HF/VUC /copenhagen Roskilde Denmark. Danish group had a great time on thier vist to mullingar and our centre. Special shout out to the hairdressing group led by instructor Emma who styled the danish hairs group.
Next up, we were delighted to host FGU Hovedenstaden from Denmark last week, four special needs teachers, two dyslexia and inclusion councillors and a chief consultant for inclusion practices from Denmark.
The aim is to gain more knowledge about how we include young people with a wide variety of special needs like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia etc and how we diagnose these neuro divergent conditions.
Last up then we had a fantastic week of hosting our friends from FGU Helsingor. A jam packed week of student exchange between irish and danish students. highlights included a walking tour of mullingar, grafton street, temple bar & stephens green area of dublin, a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher Co Clare. our danish friends got to experience a Gaa football match for the first time in mullingar. Overall it was wonderful to see our students & the danish group interacting, sharing ideas and most importantly bonding as a group. In preparation for this trip, we welcomed a group of teachers to plan to learner trip to Mullingar also.
