EIL Intercultural Learning

Time to say Goodbye

My time at the EIL office in Cork is nearly over. As I was hoping at the beginning the time at EIL teached me lots of things. I wish I could turn back time!

Four weeks of Intercultural Experience teached me what motivated and purposeful people can change. Their work make a difference! So I am proud and deeply grateful that I could be part of EIL. In my opinion the mission of EIL deserves to be supported. Because EIL offers you the chance to see behind the curtain and to make changes.

My last weeks were characterized by doing preliminary works for the different people of the office. Thence I get to know all the diverse scopes of duties. From individual programmes, where foreign students attend secondary school in Ireland, to group programmes, where American seniors do a round trip through Ireland and learn about irish history and culture. The rich diversity of programmes is just amazing.

I want to thank everybody for the kindness how I was welcomed into the EIL “family”. I enjoyed the stay very much and therefore I want to thank everybody.

Also I want to thank my host family. They gave me an understanding of Irish life, culture and people. I really appreciated the time with you.

Thanks for the experience!
