Some Comments from
the Schools
“It was a very interesting and informative
set of lessons for all concerned. The pupils met new
children, made friends and had an enjoyable time whilst
learning. I feel the programme was excellent”
Mrs Devlin, P5 teacher Saint Bernard’s Primary School,
Belfast
“Very Good! The programme broadened pupils’
ideas about other countries incorporating music, talking and
listening skills. They met others with the same/different
likes and dislikes and gained confidence”
