Students of pioneering college course travel to Berlin

STUDENTS from a pioneering Trinity college course for people with an intellectual disability are today travelling to Germany on a class field trip to gain an insight into the history and culture of the country.

The second-year students are studying for a Certificate in Contemporary Living at Trinity College. Now in its third year, it was the first programme of its kind in Ireland.

The trip is part of the social studies International Perspective module during which students compare and contrast Ireland with another European country, culminating in a field trip.
