Get ready for a vibrant day in Ireland’s lively capital city! Once you arrive, you’ll have some free time to enjoy lunch 🍽️ and settle in at University College Dublin (UCD) 📚.

The afternoon invites you to slow down and reflect during a mid-programme session led by Geraldine Lavin 💭. This gathering offers a chance to pause, share your experiences, and think about your personal growth during your time abroad so far. It’s a wonderful opportunity to gain new perspectives 🌱, connect more deeply with others 💬, and refocus for the rest of your journey.

Then, it’s time to turn up the energy! 🎶💃 You’ll head into the city centre for a lively Irish dance party - an afternoon filled with music, movement, and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re an experienced dancer or just ready to try something new, this joyful celebration of Irish culture promises to be a highlight of your programme! 🎉

☘️ Helpful Tips for the Day:

• 👟 Wear comfortable clothes and shoes - you’ll be moving around quite a bit!

• 🌧️ Pack a rain jacket (Dublin weather likes to keep us on our toes!)

• 🎒 Bring a small backpack with your essentials, including a notebook and pen 📝 for the reflection session.

• 💧 Stay hydrated - carry a reusable water bottle.

  
  

🛎️ Note for Dublin-based students:
If you’re living in Dublin, you’re welcome to meet the group directly at UCD at 1:45 PM. After the dance party, you can make your own way home 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️.
