Study abroad in Galway, Ireland this July and attend and volunteer at 2 major arts festivals.
Over 3 weeks, you’ll earn 2 academic credits and be placed in internship positions on the Galway Film Fleadh (www.galwayfilmfleadh.com) and/or Galway International Arts Festival (www.giaf.ie). Placements will be assigned in discussion with the program organizers.
By the way, Galway was recently named “Official City of Film” by UNESCO… right in time for your visit!
You’ll stay in dorms at the National University of Ireland, Galway (www.nuigalway.ie) and watch and learn and do while festivals take over this vibrant seaside city, internationally known for its culture and “craic”… that’s the Irish word for fun!
You’ll be attending and producing dozens of theater, film, music, art, and dance events throughout the city. Working side-by-side with Irish theater and film professionals, you’ll be there to see how it’s done.
On your days off you’ll take day trips to the Aran islands and the Cliffs of Moher. You’ll rent a bike and ride through breathtaking scenery.
You’ll get a crash course in Irish culture and a feast of arts from around the world… and did we forget to mention wildlife and strange sports!?
We’ll be leaving July 4 and returning July 28. The cost is $3,900 per person (plus airfare).
