Welcome to Dublin

Our journey to Ireland has begun! This trip is not only about exploring Dublin but also about stepping out of our comfort zone and practicing real communication with native English speakers.

On our first day, we dropped off our luggage and set out to discover the city. After collecting maps from the tourist information center on O’Connell Street, the students that had previously prepared presentations in class, guided us through some of Dublin’s most iconic landmarks.

We spent our second day exploring Dublin. Following the free tour designed by the students, we continued uncovering new places.

Among the highlights of the day, we had a fantastic time at Temple Bar. We also visited the National Gallery of Ireland, where we admired an incredible collection of artwork and discovered fascinating pieces by renowned artists.

 

Friday 28

We started the morning with a delightful visit to St. Stephen’s Green, a beautiful park in the heart of the city, home to the Yeats Memorial.

After that, we embarked on an exciting educational game, racing through the city with a treasure map in hand. The challenge was inspired by the "Dublin Jewel Crown Mystery"—the infamous 1907 theft of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle, a case that remains unsolved to this day.

Along the way, we discovered must-see attractions and hidden gems, making for an unforgettable adventure.
