Voyage d'études en Irlande, Cégep de Sainte-Foy, Québec 2.58

“Ireland is a small country that raises all the great questions.” Gustave de Beaumont, 19th century French writer

To explore Ireland’s complex story is not just an encounter with Nobel prize winner authors, world-renowned musicians and a rich history and culture, but is also to be introduced to issues of global importance such as cultural nationalism and linguistic preservation, colonization and post-colonialism; famine, emigration and diaspora settlement, rebellion, independence and partition; competing cultural and religious traditions, violence, peace and reconciliations; and financial survival in a globalized economy.
