THERE a was an international air of excitement and adventure at one Limerick school this week as part of its Erasmus+ project — The European Culture Club.
St Paul’s Primary School in Dooradoyle welcomed teachers from schools in Latvia, Spain, Greece, and Portugal on Tuesday to participate in a series of cultural and educational activities. The day involved interactive workshops focusing on traditional music and dance, where the visiting teachers shared elements of their cultural heritage with Limerick students.
The European Culture Club project aims to promote cultural exchange and cooperation between schools across Europe. Throughout the week, St Paul’s NS are hosting various events to celebrate its diverse cultures, including dance performances, educational workshops, and community engagement activities.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn more about European traditions and for Limerick to showcase its own vibrant cultural scene,” said Brian Curtin, Erasmus+ Coordinator at St Paul’s Primary School.
“This project has been an incredible journey for St Paul’s Primary School. It has allowed us to connect with schools across Europe, sharing and learning about different cultures, and enriching our students’ educational experience. Hosting this mobility in Limerick is a fantastic opportunity to showcase not only our school but also our vibrant local culture. We’re delighted to welcome our visiting teachers from Latvia, Spain, Greece, and Portugal and to share a piece of Limerick with them.
