Throughout the year a number of different projects are completed, as agreed by the co-ordinators. These can include projects on local areas, sporting activities and environmental studies, such as recycling schemes or the migration progress within Ireland. The exchange of Powerpoint Presentations between the other schools provides understanding and garners a fuller insight into other countries within the EU. The course not only sets up communication links with other pupils within the EU, but also helps gain a better understanding of political and cultural views across Europe.
