EIL Intercultural Learning

As I sit here, at home in Ireland, a smile begins to form across my face as I try to put to words what was one of the most enriching and enjoyable experiences of my life. It has now been just over a week since I, as part of the Irish delegation, arrived back to the Emerald Isle from the School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont where we, as five EIL travel award winners and our exemplary group leader Ruth, took part in the Governor’s Institute on Current Issues and Youth Activism camp along with 55 other Vermont high school students.
