The EIL Explore International Summer School Scholarship Award offers eligible Cork Life Centre students a four-week residential experience at Ranum Efterskole College in Denmark. This scholarship combines school activities with opportunities to discover another culture and share Irish life and traditions.
Experience a different approach to learning
Explore a mix of traditional subjects and practical learning activities within an international school community. Workshops and cultural excursions extend the experience beyond classes.
