The #ThinkLanguages: The University of Limerick experience 2024

This event, kindly funded by Languages Connect, provides a chance for Transition Year students to explore language learning opportunities.

The event will begin with Irish/German comedian Killian Sundermann sharing his intercultural experiences and how he turns these encounters into funny online content.

The day will continue with lots of engaging activities such as a language-related escape room, music and dance workshops, language taster sessions, and a cultural quiz.
