Our three-day trip to Strasbourg was a great experience and very enjoyable.
On the first day, we travelled to Strasbourg. Even though the journey was long, we were excited to arrive. When we got there, we were able to see some of the city and settle into our accommodation. Strasbourg was a very beautiful city and the hotel was amazing.
The second day was the best part of the trip. We visited the European Parliament and we got to experience what it is truly like to vote in the chamber. This was very interesting as it helped us understand how decisions are made in the European Union.
On the third day, we travelled to Germany and visited Heidelberg Castle and town. The castle had amazing views, and it was interesting to learn about its history. We also walked around the town, which was a nice way to see another country and its culture.
Overall, the trip was both fun and educational. We learned a lot while also enjoying new places and experiences. It was a memorable trip that we will not forget.
Thank you so much for this experience.

This trip for me was very educational and a great opportunity. We were given amazing teachers to come with us and the other students were also just wonderful to be with. This experience gave me new friends and a new look on politics and to have seen what it’s like in France and Germany.

Truly a life changing trip and I feel like later down the road I may look into politics more, amazing trip that engages our youth and includes them in discussions that affects them directly and gives them a voice on the matters

It’s hard to capture how incredible my experience with the Euroscola programme was. From
start to finish it was an adventure. I learned about myself, my values and my beliefs but also
about the lives and experiences of other young people.
The Euroscola trip acted as a catalyst in my own social conscience, and it gave me memories
I will treasure for a lifetime. A fantastic experience that I couldn’t recommend more.

The Graduate.ie trip to the EU parliament in Strasbourg was amazing and was like nothing I have ever experienced before. The trip provided both independence and structure allowing space on the trip to explore on your own. The EU Parliament itself was like nothing I had been to before with so many young people from all over the EU.

I found the Strasbourg trip to be a very enjoyable experience that helped me step out of my comfort zone and socialise more with people outside of just Cavan. It also helped me understand more about the parliament and how certain problems within the European Union are discussed and dealt with. I also found every other aspect of the trip, such as the Christmas markets and tour of the castle very interesting.

I personally spoke in the parliament about how member states shouldn’t oversee laws for cybersecurity and that the European Union should implement universal laws that all member states should adhere by. Then we got to vote using the electoral machines at our desks, then a final discussion on what important topics we would discuss if we were MEPs.
I’ll be eternally grateful for all the great memories and lifelong friends I made along the way because of this magnificent trip.

I had such an incredible time on my trip to Strasbourg. The trip allowed me to talk to people I never would have talked to before, and come out of myself in the company of others. The teachers who went with us were so kind and caring also. I would 100% recommend this quiz on graduate.ie to anybody, even if you don’t think you have an interest.

The Euroscola trip to Strasbourg was an incredible opportunity that allowed me to learn more about Europe, meet new people, and experience new cultures. I made amazing friends and created memories that I will always cherish. I was surprised by how much I missed everyone once it was over.
Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity — it was absolutely unforgettable.

The trip to Strasbourg and all the other locations is unforgettable and I wouldn’t have changed anything about the people I met on the trip, everyone was so lovely and it was a nice feeling knowing we were all in the same boat and it made us very close within the first day or so. Again, I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity
