The group, who are undertaking a study abroad visit to Dublin (visiting Marino Institute of Education) and Belfast, enjoyed presentations from College staff on Global Learning (Prof. Gerard McCann), Critical Literacy (Dr Geraldine Magennis- Clarke) and the NI school system (Dr Claire Connolly). The group also had the opportunity to visit local schools, and see first-hand the similarities and differences between classrooms and education systems in the US, Ireland and Northern Ireland, as well as to see the sights of Belfast.
