Ирландия: модуль 4
PREFACE
Before we start practising a teacher explains the situation. All the students imagine they have been selected as participants of the cultural exchange programme which offers an opportunity for the fulfilment of national and individual goals. Any exchange progamme helps to bring people together and is vitally important, creating personal bonds which will last a lifetime.
Being representatives of Russia abroad the students can tell people as much as they can about their own culture and country. Moreover, as a future leader a student takes back his or her valuable ideas and impressions — a new perspective of the world, a deeper understanding and vision of what is being achieved in Europe.
The most important thing about all this is that students change their world perceptions, that they feel responsible for being intercultural communicators. To help people understand each other is the main purpose of their mission. It’s up to them to decide how they will use their experience and knowledge in this field in their life.
