Institution:

Cabrini University - Closed

Subject:

Cabrini College Abroad

Description:

This course will focus on the evolution of Ireland from the early 1900s to the present day. It will look at British influence as it relates to the formation of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, on the struggle for independence and the separation of the north and south, and on the socio-cultural problems that exist between Catholics and Protestants in the North due to the separation. Students interested in this course will embark March 3, 2012 on an 8-day study tour of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, returning March 10, 2012. Students will depart via Philadelphia and arrive in Dublin, Ireland, and visit important places like Kilmainham jail, Guinness Brewery, and Trinity College. After spending a number of days south, the group will move north to Northern Ireland, U.K., and visit the Ulster-American Folk Park, get a courier-led walking tour of Derry, and visit the People's Gallery in Derry, Bushmills Distillery, and the amazing Giant's Causeway. Students will travel to Belfast and take in the sights in the city, while visiting Stormont Estate, Falls Road, and Long Kesh Prison. Any trip to Ireland must include a traditional Irish sing-along, which will take place on the final night in Ireland.
