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.

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.

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 thing i noticed the most was the sea its smell , its color , it was really cold me and luca put our feet in the water and it was really pleasant .

There were a lot of algae but still i liked it , the martello tower was interesting and everything, after that i think i’m going to read the ulysses

It is in a huge library that is one of the best spots in the whole Ireland.

It amazed me and it’s curious that the college was founded to keep Irish students in Ireland.

The Trinity College promoted Irish culture and It was intended not to subordinate it to the English one.

I really liked the green of the parks near the sea and the calm of the small village, I didn’t saw all of it but it was a fantastic day anyway

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. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocky cliffs and the fresh sea breeze make the experience even more delightful.

the book of Kells was secured inside a glass case and there were a lot of animations projected on the walls giving a sense of 3 dimensions.

Also the library was amazing especially with that world on the middle of the hallway.

Add a photo or a short video.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.
