Irish Culture: Mythology and Gaelic Games
Now that we've had a few days to get acclimated to Dublin, our global navigators have been diving into Irish culture. A key component of global entrepreneurship is having a strong understanding of the values and culture of the target country, so we are trying to get a better understanding of the Irish way of life. Our students spent some time working with traditional Irish myths and understanding how these traditions reflect values that are still relevant to Dubliners today. We also got a great opportunity to experience some Gaelic games! Students learned about the history of the games and put their own skills to the test with handball, Gaelic football, and hurling.
