They’ve been exploring local animals and learning how to care for tortoises and other small creatures 🐢🐾, while also gaining insight into the Finnish education system. Tomorrow, they will give presentations to their Finnish peers on the Irish education system and Irish animals.

A fantastic experience full of learning, discovery, and new friendships! 🌍✨

As the Easter break comes to a close, five Sligo College Staff members are ready to share insights from their enriching Erasmus+ learning journey, having spent a week of their holidays studying in Malta 🇲🇹✨
Funded through the Erasmus+ programme, this mobility experience provided a valuable opportunity for collaboration, and the exchange of best practices across European education systems.

Staff members from our Ballinode and Tubbercurry campuses took part in courses focused on AI in education and teacher wellbeing, all set against the stunning backdrop of this beautiful island 🌟

We look forward to seeing how this Erasmus+ experience will enhance teaching and learning across our college community and support our ongoing commitment to innovation and wellbeing.
Well done to all involved 👏

Our Tourism and Art students from Sligo College of FET had an incredible learning experience this week with a visit to the Titanic Quarter and Art Galleries in Belfast 🚢

Exploring this iconic destination, students gained valuable insights into the story of the RMS Titanic — from its design and construction to its historic voyage and legacy. They also deepened their understanding of heritage tourism, visitor experience design, and how world-class attractions engage audiences through storytelling and immersive exhibits.

The trip offered a fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world tourism practices, while also experiencing one of Ireland’s most significant cultural and historical sites.

Well done to all involved for making the most of this enriching experience 👏
