This experience was incredible, one of the best in my life. I worked for a month in a Irish pharmacy and I did not expect to find two young girls full of love and passion to transmit. As I was saying, I worked in a pharmacy and with me there was my friend Sara with which I have shared not only the work but also the room. It was really exciting when we arrived on the first day of work and rang the bell with great anxiety and with expectations underfoot. But it was even more wonderful to discover that our fears (including finding a bad job) were useless because behind that door, waiting for us, were two wonderful girls who don't gave us only a lot of information and notions about the job, but also memories. We would also never have expected the pharmacist to tell us that if we wanted one day, she would be there waiting for us with open arms. Or we would certainly never have thought that she would have been moved when we were leaving on the last day.

I am truly happy to have worked there, in that pharmacy that has been open for a year, that pharmacy on the corner to the right of which only Sara and I will understand.

During my work experience in Ireland I found myself in a pretty relaxing situation, I had two jobs, one in the very center (O’ Connel Street), and the other near Connolly, still in the centre of Dublin but a bit shifted towards north. In the first job (Fast Premium Profucts), I had to refill the shelves with all the liquids, check if there were any missing items from the catalog and wash the showcases. In the other (Work Experince Agency), I had to check if all the drones, robots, and cars were working and do a presentation about them to later present it in a only-girls middle school. The only thing I found hard was to stay 8 hours without having a seat and a restroom in the shop, but it was only for the first one the other had both fortunately.

I had a lot of fun also because I always worked with Francesco so I was never alone.

In August/September I had the opportunity to work in Dublin, Ireland, gaining valuable experience in two different fields. During the first week, I worked at an electronics shop alongside Federico. My primary responsibilities included assisting customers, organizing and maintaining the dispays, cleaning the shelves, and delivering packages from the warehouse to the shop. Although we faced some difficulties, we always found solutions with the guidance of our teachers.

For the next three weeks, we worked at a travel agency. Here, my main tasks involved attending online meetings, ensuring that all the robots and drones were functioning properly, charging their batteries, and creating a presentation about the technology for a local elementary school. Presenting to the students was a highlight, as it gave me a chance to observe the educational system and interact with children in a different cultural context.

We enjoyed that the kids were listening to us despite our accent wasn’t perfect like their.

This experience taught me to adapt to new environments, enhanced my technical skills, and strengthened my teamwork abilities. We learned to live and work together, we shared thoughts, bad and good times and we all forged a bond of friendship.

I worked in the rtd motors garage for a month my main tasks were to change the tyres, service the cars, change parts and finally keep the workplace tidy. I found the main difficulties at the beginning in understanding how to use the machine to change tires but with a little experience it all became very easy. the main things I learned were changing tires, changing car components and finally the most important thing was improving my English. I understood that I was a European citizen mainly from the fact that to go to Ireland I didn't have to do anything but only needed an identity card which made me feel included in a large community

During my work experience in August in Ireland, I worked in an electronics store specializing in the repair and sale of technological devices. My main tasks were PC maintenance, replacing and assembling components, and checking smartphones. Additionally, when my supervisor Jay asked, I assisted customers, providing advice on which products to purchase. Another key task was broadcasting, where I prepared checked and functional products for sale, packed them, and Jay would handle the shipping. During my experience, I encountered some challenges, particularly at the beginning, related to language and communication with both customers andco-workers. Initially, I felt insecure about speaking English, but over time, through daily practice and the support of my co-workers, I improved my language skills. Additionally, there were technical issues, like installing specific components, that required research and guidance from Jay. He taught me to approach problems with calm and precision, and I learned to ask for help when needed and to patiently find solutions.This experience taught me a lot, especially in terms of technical skills. I gained hands-on experience in device repair, component assembly, and customer management. Moreover, I improved my problem-solving and teamwork skills, learning to work under pressure in a dynamic environment.Working in a foreign country made me realize how important it is to feel part of the European Union. Being a European citizen allowed me to work in another country without bureaucratic barriers, making me feel welcome and part of a larger community.

This experience in Ireland was very interesting, it helped me a lot with my english and I meet a lot of cool people. Even though I work in a place were chemistry was non important it was a really wonderful experience, I worked at a SPAR, a minimarket, the main parte about my job was bringing downstairs all the boxes with the products and store them on the shelves (expecially Tuesday and Friday), other activities where like staying on the till ( I can't show the video of this part for the privacy of the people) and taking orders for customers but the most fun part was the cardboard machine, every time a product was packed on the shelves of the store we were left with a box, this box was putted in a machine that compressed it so it was easier to trash it. The most difficult part was thanking orders from customers, exoecially the ones with a really stron irish accent, but I was always followed by a member of the staff so if I did a mistake it wasn't a big deal. Form this experience I learned (apart from upgrading my english) how it feels to stay behind a counter, to meet a lot of different people but also the economy of the country where I was,it helped me also understand that I am a European citizen, because it might seem like another world but there are a lot of things in common with our country.

During this month in Dublin I worked at Laptop Market, a small shop in the suburb of the city with my friend Andrea. Jay, our boss, explained immediately our task and how to work; we had to check computer component, such as keyboard, ssd, monitor, cpu etc. and clean the device so that we could pack and sell them.

One day Jay told me to upgrade the ram and the ssd of a computer but I’ve never done something like this before so I had to solve this issue, I surf the net searching for a solution and I found a video that explained to me everything step by step.

At the end of the month I learnt a lot of thing about computer, smartphones, other electronic devices; but also about different habits and new culture, because my boss was from India.

I realise that I’m a European citizen because it allowed us to travel very easy and to found a lot of different people in Dublin from all over the Europe.

During this project I worked in a charity shop, for those who don’t know a charity shop is a commercial activity that sells mostly clothing donated by the people to raise money for many porpuses.

I worked at Enable Ireland, a charity shop whose purpose was to raise money for disabled children.

During my time there I have done almost everything from steaming clothes to rearranging mannequins, another activity that I have done was hanging the clothes and put the target with the size and price.

I had an Italian co-worker named Sebastian, and we did basically the same thing aside for our shift I worked part-time from 9:30am to 1:30 pm, and he worked full-time from 11 am to 5 pm, and I'm really grateful to have met him.

The issues I had were connected to the fact that my preparation is completely different from what a person working in a clothes shop need, but by using my head and following my coworkers' advice, I have been able to help a do a great job. Everything because I originally had to work in a pharmacy but since this pharmacy had bad experience with some German students they decided not to take me to work there, and we had to search for another workplace

I learnt how to run a clothes shop even if in a minimal amount and all the soft skills needed to work abroad such as the language, understanding of the job, go along with the coworkers and be able to talk with the clients and staff and even to be careful and being respectful and punctual.

This experience made me realise that I’m a European citizen because I never felt different from the other people around me, matter of fact I have encountered a lot of Italian people. Everyone has always been kind to me and all the services were great starting from the DART that I took every day to go to work and also the bus system is great .

I also learnt that being an European citizen is an enormous privilege because of what you can do , just by living in one of it’s countries. A lot a people could not do what we have done because they are not from the European Union and this can’t be took for granted.

During my work experience, I worked with Federico and Francesco at WEA. My main task was creating posters for events and websites. I was also tasked with preparing a presentation on social inclusion in sports, which I later presented at a conference. Additionally, my partners and I visited a school to give a demonstration on robots, remote-controlled cars, and drones.

The main challenge I faced was the difficulty in understanding the Irish accent, which was quite strong in some cases. I believe this experience not only improved my English, but also helped me learn how to understand the Irish accent better. It made me realize how important it is to be part of a community like the European Union, which allows for easy travel between member countries. This made me feel part of something larger and also gave me a true sense of being a European citizen.

Hi I’m Emma and I worked in Dublin for 28 days. During my internship in Ireland I worked alone in a pharmacy which was located in a small neighborhood. The manager of the pharmacy was really friendly, helpful and kind to me. She gave me a lot of really good advices about the job. She made me do a lot of things like: organize baby stuff like formula and little toys, work at the register, interact with the customers, organize all the morning orders, arrange all the medicine shelves, organize prescriptions and do pill boxes. I really like speaking with the local people even though the Irish accent was really difficult to understand. I managed to understand it and I think I really improved my English. One thing I learned was to listen more carefully and when needed ask for help or support. Other thins that I improved were: time management and communication skills in a multicultural place. I also gained more confidence in my English, even with the challenges of the accent. Thanks to this internship I realize how connected we are in Europe. I felt like I was part of something bigger, something where it’s easy to move, work, integrate and interact thanks to our shared European identity. This experience made me feel like a true European citizen.

During my work experience at Clearwater Allcare Pharmacy, my main task was to stock shelves and organize orders, making sure that the products were always available and well displayed. Sometimes, I also had to interact with customers, helping them with their questions and needs. The biggest challenge I faced was the language. Even though I spoke English, understanding the Irish accent was difficult at first. I struggled to understand some customers, but with patience and determination, I managed to improve. I learned to listen more carefully and ask for clarification when needed. From this experience, I learned a lot, not only in my job but also personally. I improved my time management, organization, and communication skills in a multicultural environment. I also gained more confidence in my English, even with the challenges of the accent. Working in Ireland made me realize how connected we are in Europe. I felt part of something bigger, a community where it is easy to move, work, and integrate thanks to our shared European identity.

During my internship in Ireland I worked in a pharmacy with my partner Valentina, we worked in this pharmacy which was located in a small neighborhood. The managers of the place were always very nice, helpful and kind to us. I liked that they let us get into the heart of the work and that they also gave us a lot of confidence in doing all the things they asked us to do. They made us carry out all kinds of tasks from working at the register, interacting with customers, customer service and help, preparing gift packages, organizing all the orders that arrived every morning, arranging all the medicine shelves, sorting patient records both online from the computer and in paper form and also prepare the various prescriptions for people, always with the control of the responsible to prevent any mistakes. My only fear was at the beginning because I thought I wouldn't be able to understand people well while they were speaking, because their pronunciation was different from usual, but all the people who were close to me helped me and made me feel at confidence in my self , always making me do my best. I learned to be independent since I was in a foreign country without parents and far from home. I have also improved my English skills and I have also learned to look at things a bit with my eyes towards the future as I would really like to work in this sector. I realized that I was a European citizen despite being in another country unfamiliar to me. I met many Italian and foreign students in Dublin and this made me understand how lucky I am to have been in this experience both thanks to the school and the EU. I realized that not everyone has these opportunities, especially people outside the European Union, and I was grateful, satisfied and happy to have been able to enjoy this experience the fullest, improving my cultural and social knowledge.

During my internship in Ireland, I worked in a pharmacy. There, I was responsible for serving customers at the cash register, helping with the preparation of prescriptions for customers, organizing shelves and storage areas, bringing prescriptions to the pharmacist, setting up discounts and store labels, and checking if the correct medications and quantities arrived with the pharmacy orders, then placing them in the appropriate areas.

I was immediately taught the basics of the job, such as how the cash register works and how to manage the pharmacy. I was shown the layout of the pharmacy and where the medications and other products were located. I was also instructed on how to approach customers and serve them correctly. If I didn’t know something about a patient’s issue, someone qualified would come to assist me. As soon as I finished one task, I was assigned another or I would look for one myself. I didn’t face any particular problems, and i didn’t find many negative aspects. Although I don’t aspire to do that job, I still found it stimulating. Sometimes, I was given tasks that were challenging for my level of knowledge, but with a bit more time, I was able to complete them without problems. Occasionally, I had difficulty understanding the names of some medications, but it wasn’t an insurmountable issue, and with time, I managed to memorize them. Sometimes it was hard to understand people, especially older ones with difficult accents, but with effort, I always managed to meet their requests.

This work experience abroad made me feel like a true European citizen. Being in a different country, working alongside people from diverse backgrounds, and adapting to new customs, helped me understand how interconnected we are. It gave me the sense that, despite the borders, we share common values and opportunities across Europe. Even though I was in another country, there were many Italian people or European people. This opened my eyes to how globalized and culturally connected the world has become and how various cultures blend together. Moreover, I realized how lucky I am to be a European citizen. It is a privilege because being one, has allowed me to travel and live this experience, which unfortunately is not accessible to everyone, especially those outside of Europe or those who are not actually European citizens even though they live in Europe

I took this picture before leaving Dalkey. I took it with Valentina before climbing back up from a cliff where we had sat to enjoy the view and chat. I chose it because the thing that stuck with me the most from visiting Dalkey was climbing to the top and admiring the beautiful view with everyone, but especially talking about random things with Valentina while sitting on the cliff, While we were looking at the view and the sea below us.

1. Today, I am grateful to have visited this beautiful garden, a peaceful place wrapped in a magical atmosphere, full of greenhouses that looked like jungles and amazing flowers. I’m also thankful for having seen the famous cemetery mentioned by Joyce in person.

2. The best part of the day was when we all sat together after visiting the garden, sharing our thoughts about the day, talking about random things, and having strange debates about strange questions. Another lovely moment was when Sara and I took a walk through the gardens by ourselves, talking and sharing stories.

3. Today I learned to appreciate the beauty of nature in all its different forms. I also learned that the cemetery we visited was one of the first to accept graves of people from different religions, and I discovered some interesting facts about the plants as well.

Going to Sandycove was a wonderful experience, spending time together and enjoying a beautiful day on the coast. The best part was the walk and the visit to the Martello Tower. The museum was interesting, especially because the guides explained everything clearly and in a fun way. It was truly fascinating to see the places mentioned by Joyce in real life, to feel the emotions he described, and to feel like we were inside his book. The sea wasn’t the most beautiful, but I still enjoyed this day very much.

I’m Leonardo and I worked for a month in an International student residence in a district near the city centre of Dublin.

The first days I prepared the room-gadgets for the students of the new University year.

It was fun but a little tiring because I had to move myself with a heavy kart.

For the arrival of the guests I showed them the building and their rooms.

After the first week the work decreased and I helped my co-workers in the reception sorting the several mails and delivering them.

I also replaced my boss during the lunch break and I heard the complaints of the costumers.

I also took pictures of damaged objects in the rooms.

The main problem was the distance because I was in a small village near Dublin and I got used to use 2 buses and 1 train every day.

I had no problem with English despite the Irish people have a strict accent.

The new skills I gained are in the language, use of public transport and in a new job.

It was my first time working and going abroad without my parents and for a whole month so I’m so really satisfied and the job score is fantastic.

I also realised that this project has been made thanks to EU funds and we didn’t need any sort of Passport to get there.

Moreover working in a hostel I noticed that everyone was foreigner and I heard different languages and accents and everything was unusual to me.

the experience was not really cheap but I would say it was worth it.

Sandy Cove, near Dublin, is a peaceful and charming spot. Walking along the coastline is relaxing, with the calm sea offering a great view, the clear waters of the bay give the sense of serenity.

Walking around Howth was truly amazing; the sea breeze, the sound of the waves, the village, it felt like being in a film.

2. The place I took it: I took this photo on the cliffs leading from Dalkey to the "Witch's Hat." It was very relaxing to walk and see the sea.

3. Who/what was in it: The photo shows the view from the cliffs over the sea; you can notice the color of the water, which tends toward green because of the gray clouds covering the light. In the background, you can see other mountains, also steep above the sea.

4. The reason why I chose it: I chose this photo because I love the sea, and that view together with the walk gave me a great feeling of tranquility. Also, I think the contrast between the cloudy sky and the sea is very beautiful.

Visiting Howth turned out to be a really nice experience. The village is very pretty, with its lovely harbor and amazing sea views. One of the best parts of my trip was walking along the cliffs. The fresh sea air and beautiful sights made the walk very enjoyable.

2. The best part of my day was when I could go for a walk in the Monumental Cemetery with my friend Leonardo and we could see the “O’Connell’s Tower”: it was really cool and breathtaking. I was really happy that I could go with him so we could enjoy those moments together.

3. One thing I learned today was that a long time ago Irish people that weren’t Catholics couldn’t have funerals or they could but it had to be really short. All of this was because all Ireland was under the control of the English’s government and they were all or For the most part of Protestant religion. So the Monumental Cemetery we saw it was like one of the first cemeteries with people of all religions.

The day in Howth has been my favorite so far. Personally, I really enjoy walking, hiking, and visiting new places. As soon as we arrived, I immediately liked the place: the coast, the sea, and the small town. What I loved the most was the atmosphere of the day and the location. I felt calm, happy, and carefree. We laughed and had fun all together. I also enjoyed spending time with everyone because it seemed, and I felt, that we were all relaxed and comfortable. I also appreciated being in such a green environment so close to the city, something rare to find in other countries.

It reflects very much the type of things that I like to visit and that I would see again many times and would still be so much in love with its beauty. It's a wonderful place that I hope to revisit in the future and also think about studying there.

When we arrived I thought it would be the same as Howth, but it wasn't. It was a beautiful day fortunately like last week, the sun was warm and the sea was really beautiful, the waves crashing on the rocks always have that wonderful sound. But apart from that, the museum we saw was wonderful, very interesting and curious. Afterwards we ate on a beautiful lawn, where it was so nice that I fell asleep.

It was really nice to visit the coasts, because they give me a lot of tranquility. I also like to go on excursions because I like to see new places especially when the weather is nice. It was a very pleasant and beautiful day, fun and it will surely remain in my memories of this experience

The part of today’s visit that I found most interesting was the library, which made me feel like I went back in time; there was a calm atmosphere, but at the same time, you could sense the historical importance of this library, and that fascinated me a lot. Unfortunately, some of the books were not on the shelves, but despite this, I found the long room very interesting and beautiful to see.

The today visit at the college was something beautiful and magical. It looked like we were in a fairytale. The thing I liked the most was the library but unfortunately some of the books were not on the shelves but it was beautiful even without them. The magical atmosphere made all so special and unique. Personally the enormous globe above our heads was so amazing and special. I really liked this library because personally I really like letterature and I’m really amazed about it. The place was magical and you could even image the old people who were there studying on those books. It was really a beautiful experience, i really suggest this experience tho everyone. I was really grateful that our teacher made us came here cause is something everyone have to see.

After seeing the book itself, I sat in a room where they project a short 8-minute film about the history of the Book of Kells. The room was dark, quiet, and the air was cool. The film was projected onto the walls, and as I watched, I was drawn into the story. It explained the origins of the manuscript, how monks worked on it, and the importance it holds in Irish history. The visuals were beautiful, showing the vibrant illustrations and patterns, while the narrator’s voice gave context. It was amazing to see how such a complex work came to be, and the film helped me appreciate this piece of art even more when I saw the book in person.

It was one of the most beautiful walks I've ever done. the path was very easy and engaging. the view from the cliff was spectacular and the day was fantastic. the town is very beautiful with a lot of pretty shops and other things, and also with an amazing sea view. However, during the walk we learned something about history as there were remnants of the Second World War from the Irish side. It’s a place with a magical atmosphere in my opinion to go alone or in company. I hope to see beautiful places like these in the future.

I really appreciated the little village with the sea view. When we walked along the sea there was a sense of peace and calm that would also help me to write like Joyce (not like him perhaps). I found the museum very interesting, even if it was very small, and I discovered several things about the writer that I didn't know. Outside of this holiday I hope to return to this place because I found it very relaxing and nice.

I really enjoyed this place. Howth and the walk we did was really an interesting thing. Personally I don’t really like walk in place like this but Howth was an exception, the sea its so cool and so calm. It’s a calm place we even had the opportunity to eat our packet lunch all together. Howth it’s a place where you can go with your friends and family and have fun together. It’s near the sea and it was a magical experience. The saltiness was fantastic, it’s all so clean and beautiful. The cliff is something Breathtaking and its really High but it’s something that you can’t see. I really liked Howth cause I was with my friends and we all laughed and had fun together. Personally i would go here again maybe with my family and again with my friends cause it’s a beautiful place that everyone have to visit even without doing the walk, just sitting on a bench near the sea and relax.

When I first heard that we were going to Sandycove I was a little bit sad cause it was a little distant from where we live so we had to take the Dart from the center of Dublin. When we arrived at Sandycove it was unexpectedly beautiful. The sea was so amazing and the smell of saltiness was so calming and refreshing. The Martello Tower looked like that was just popped out of a Fairytale. I was really amazed by it and I was really grateful about the fact that I was in the same place were James Joyce wrote the Ulysses. In addition to this magnificent place we all had the opportunity to eat all together in a beautiful spot near the sea. The weather was perfect: it was sunny and the temperature was nice and warm with that little breeze that made the right atmosphere. I’m really glad and grateful I was there with my friends. It was really a magical experience, i personally recommend this spot to people who wants to live a magical and enjoyable experience.

While we were going to Sandycove, I expected to find a quiet place that helps with writing. Instead, I found the sea very beautiful and enjoyed the sound of people diving into the water from the rocks. I especially loved how strong the smell and sound of the sea were, as they help me relax a lot. A great moment was when an Aston Martin passed by as we walked along the coast; the sound of its engine was amazing!

# data[].attributes.body
It wasn’t anything spectacular, just a simple coastal village, like many others I’ve seen. The water was green, not the clear blue I’d imagined, and it was full of seaweed, swirling near the rocks. Still, I enjoyed the trip. There was something calm about it all. The smell of the sea was strong-salty, mixed with the damp, earthy smell of seaweed. It wasn’t exactly inviting, but it felt real, like the kind of wild coastline you expect in Ireland. One thing that me and Valentina enjoyed very much was the Aston Martin that was driving around because the sound produced by that car was extraordinary.

At first when I heard about a tour in Sandycove I was disappointed because I usually catch the DART for the Dublin centre and when I'll pass by It looks like a general periphery.

When we arrived to the beach it was so unexpected because it was similar to Bray and there were many people swimming in the cold water of the sea.

The Martello tower looked like a fairytale and since we studied Joyce I enjoyed the fact that he was in it fir writing the Ulysses.

Furthermore today was a sunny and hot day and we had lunch on the grass in front of the sea and the view was beautiful.

I liked the calm of the place despite the tourists and I would recommend this spot to people that come to Dublin.

Share your thoughts and your experience in Howth. You can even try to write using the "interior monologue" technique.

# data[].attributes.body
Visit a museum in pairs or in small groups. Agree on 3 items you liked and 3 you didn't like. Take a selfie in front all of them, write a post on each item writing the reasons why you liked or didn't like that particular item, say where you can find it (the name of the museum) and post it under the right column together with the selfie.

Howth was a magical experience and I felt in a film.

There was a peaceful atmosphere and my soul is reborn.

I enjoyed really much this little trekking and even if it was tiring it was worth it and I absolutely would do it again.

It’s quite curious and impressing that this painting connects the world with Hell and Heaven. We suppose that the man was struggling to go to Heaven rather than Hell. Farther more we can see two angels that are desperate about this man and his fate.

We were so curious about this skeleton because we imagined the life and how the person lived. It’s a very good thing that some bones can be seen nowadays thanks to technology.

We like this painting because the colours are really bright, vibrant and beautiful. This painting made us feel happy and calm. We also like the effect made by the lights behind Maria.

We didn’t like this Painting because, for us, it was a little bit sad. In our opinion, The colours weren’t the brightest so we didn’t like them. This painting made us feel uncomfortable, sad, awkward and a little bit distressed.

We didn’t like this embalmed seal because we think that embalming animals is like a violence on the animals. There was a lot more embalmed animals but this seal, in our opinion, was too cute to be hurt like this.

We liked this painting because the sheet music is a source of light, which acts as a metaphor. The light coming from the sheet music symbolizes the power of music to enlighten and inspire people. It shows how music can bring understanding, joy, and a sense of connection. By using light in this way, the artist suggests that music is not just sound, but something that can brighten our minds and hearts. This metaphor makes the painting feel more meaningful and shows the important role that music plays in our lives.

We liked this painting because Jesus is illuminated, which makes Him stand out from the rest of the scene. The light around Jesus creates a sense of peace and hope, even though the background is dark and full of fire. This contrast draws our eyes to Jesus first and shows Him as a symbol of guidance and salvation. The way the artist uses light makes Jesus look divine and powerful, giving the painting a strong spiritual feeling.

We didn’t like the stuffed lobster because at the first sight it was scary. In addition we don’t agree on embalming animals even though they are a really interesting thing to see. We didn’t like this lobster in particular because it represents, to the public, the concept of the of death of sea animals.

We really liked this painting because of the gentle shades in the sky and the unique feelings it gave us. The artist's use of soft color transitions created a calming and inviting atmosphere. We felt a strong connection to the painting, as it evoked a sense of tranquility and beauty. Overall, it left a lasting impression on us and made the experience truly memorable.

We didn't like the painting of the river because it looked like it was done by a child. Everythih was messy, and the details were very simple, almost childish. It didn't seem like a serious or skilled artwork, so it didn't impress us.
