Starting from Nuremberg's main railwaystation on 19th May 2019 early in the morning...

...still being excited and happy while heading to Frankfurt Airport by train.

After our group of 16 trainees arrived in Dublin Airport at 6pm, taxis took took them to their host families.

As you can see in the pictures below, they immediately felt comfi and home.



After saying hello to their hosts, most of our students were served typical Irish food. Yummie;-)

According to our students service manager: Typyically, this consists of anything with meat, potatoes and some sauce varried in different ways. Well, never mind. Enjoy!







On Monday, 20th May 2019: Induction at ADC College Dublin

On the first day of the Erasmus+ mobility, our students joint the induction meeting at the office of our partner organization ADC College Dublin. There we received interesting information about the system and organization of public transport in Dublin which seemed to be very confusing for our German trainees.

Starting work at the retail companies in Dublin

On Tuesday, the goup had its first day at their work experince companies. Most of our trainees were very excited to meet their new boss, the colleagues and the customers.

Just have a look at the following pictures, there you can see some of our students at their shops as well as our principle, when he visited them at work.

During our feeback course in Germany, we asked the students to send us a picture and let us know about "What was the most exciting experience in Dublin".

Dinner with the principle

Almost traditionally, our principle visited the students in their Irish companies.

In the evening, the group met for dinner in order to talk about the work experience. This is always a good possibility to reflect the project as well as to gain new and most of all innovative ideas.

Excursion at the weekend: A cliffwalk in Howth

In order to learn about Ireland's nature and landscape, the trainees had to do an exciting cliff-walk in Howth at the weekend. The students defenitely enjoyed the impressive landscape, the fresh air at the sea as well as chatting with the all the other trainees. They also took many pictures and were very happy with the beautiful weather - no rain, just a few clouds and some sunshine - simply brilliant.Just look: 

Learning about culture and history in Dublin and Ireland.

Of course, we also planned some excursions in Dublin during the two weeks to learn more about Ireland's culture: The students visited the Jamason Destillery and the Guinness Storehouse to learn about the history as well as the production process of each kind of alcoholic drink.
We walked through Dublin with a tour guide to receive detailled information about O Connell Bridge, the Spire or Dublin Castle. The well-knonwn Trinity College including the Book of Kells was visited as well and some very brave students joint the teachers to the Leprechaun Museum. Now, have a look at the pictures:

Our students at the Jameson Destillery. 

Followed by some impressions from the Guinness Storehouse...

… and a view through the Irish Harp by Majuri at the famous Library. 

Our students didn't even start to count every single book at the Old Library. What an amazing room!

The Book of Kells.
