On Thursday, the plan for the day completely changed. At around half two, a group of tenth grade Danish students arrived at The Oriel House. Instead of working on computers, the workshop turned into a full blown discussion on educational differences between the two countries, including single sex schools and exams. It is amazing how much they differ even though we are in the same continent.
Two students from the Danish school stood up to answer questions from the Irish students and vice-versa. Both were very well represented and interesting. The students then stayed to watch the groups animations we made for the day and they really seemed to enjoy them.
The Danish students will once again be returning on Friday to take part in the workshop. It will be very interesting to see how it goes.
