Culture Days

Sorry for posting this so late, but I was really reeeaaaally very busy this weekend. Soon the KGP will start and I have to admit that I'm already a bit nervous. For the KGP we had to choose five presentations to which we have listened to on our Culture Days that were carried out on Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th of June. I have listened to several Irish and American presentations. However, some of the presentations were more interesting than others. I decided to choose the following five presentations for the Kommissionelle Gesamtprüfung:

Ireland: From emigration to immigration and how the country is dealing whit integration:

I have chosen this presentation as I am convinced that this topic is very important for the Irish culture. Ireland has been dealing with emigration and imigration for many years and I think that it was very interesting to hear how the country is dealing with integration. Furthermore, the presentation was easy to understand and I really enjoyed listening to the speaker.

How the world sees Bobby Sands:

This presentation was one of the best presentations I have ever seen. The speaker seemed to know exactly what she was talking about and she spoke very clearly. Moreover, I am extremely interested in Bobby Sand’s life and I think that the hunger strikes were also very important for the Irish culture.

Homophobic bullying in Irish schools:

I think that this presentation deals with a topic which is extremely importat. Nowadays bullying is present everywhere, not only in schools. For me it is absolutely necessary that we know how dangerous bullying can be and that’s why I decided to choose the presentation for the KGP.

Withcraft in Ireland:

I decided to choose Sabrina’s presentation, because I’ve always been interested in witchcraft and all these other “mystic“ things. I loved listening to her, because she managed to present her topic in a funny, but interesting way.

The Claddagh Ring:

My last presentation for the KGP is about the Claddagh Ring. I decided to choose this presentation, because it is a very  “Irish“ topic. I enjoyed listenting to Irina, especially when she told us about the different theories concerning the history of the ring.
