    Embrace the Wild Atlantic Way of Life

    SOUTHERN PENINSULAS & HAVEN COAST WildAtlanticWay.com #WildAtlanticWay WELCOME TO THE SOUTHERN PENINSULAS & HAVEN COAST The Wild Atlantic Way, the longest defined coastal touring route in the world stretching 2,500km from Inishowen in Donegal to Kinsale in West Cork, leads you through one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. A frontier on the very edge of Europe, the Wild Atlantic Way is a place like no other, which in turn has given its people a unique outlook on life. Here you can immerse yourself in a different way of living. Here you can let your freer, spontaneous side breathe. Here you can embrace the Wild Atlantic Way of Life. The most memorable holidays always have a touch of wildness about them, and the Wild Atlantic Way will not disappoint. With opportunities to view the raw, rugged beauty of the highest sea cliffs in Europe; experience Northern Lights dancing in winter skies; journey by boat to many of the wonderful islands off our island; experience the coast on horseback; or take a splash and enjoy the many watersports available. Stop often at the many small villages and towns along the route. Every few miles there are places to stretch your legs and have a bite to eat, so be sure to allow enough time take it all in. For the foodies, you can indulge in some seaweed foraging with a local guide with a culinary experience so you can taste the fruits of your labours. As night falls enjoy the craic at traditional music sessions and even try a few steps of an Irish jig! It’s out on these western extremities – drawn in by the constant rhythm of the ocean’s roar and the consistent warmth of the people – that you’ll find the Ireland you have always imagined.

    Modern Irish Culture in Kerry Curriculum

    Modern Irish culture in Kerry, Ireland Modern Irish culture for Erasmus + projects Our 2 week programme takes place in Cahersiveen, a small town on the ‘Ring of Kerry’, the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ and the famous ‘Skellig coast’. Cahersiveen was the home of Ireland’s most well- known historical figure, Daniel O Connell, and in many ways is a perfect place to learn about heritage and modern Irish culture. Famous Gaelic football players are from Cahersiveen, Irish traditional music and dance are taught at local schools, and can be experienced in the pubs at night, and festivals of culture, history, music and the arts abound. Our programme (9.00 – 13.00 Monday to Friday) is created in the form of practical workshops which relate to how culture can fit into the three learning pillars of SELF, OTHER AND PLACE, and which offer tips on how to create a culture based EU project: SELF plus 2 full day excursions, and 3 afternoon activities. 1) Irish Mythology, in particular the Fianna cycle, and how it relates to us today. 2) History and Religion – how our past has shaped us and how we can be free of it. 3) The ‘I am’ book, inspired by Ireland’s first poem – ‘ Song of Amergin’: Create an ‘I am’ book with local artist and learn how to help your students understand themselves better through art. 4) Irish economy and politics (including the Celtic Tiger era and what it taught us about ourselves), as well as tips on how to motivate students to get involved in politics. Other 5) Learn an Irish dance – The importance of group dance, such as ‘Ceilis’ for social cohesion and connection, and tips on how to teach anything through movement.
