EU Exchange by Siofra Gannon, Maia Barry, Aoife Nee, Abby Deane, Marcus Manning Our podcast called EU Exchange will document the experience of students who have studied abroad. We interview students who to our school on exchange, as well as our own students who went to different countries.  We decided on this idea to inform students about school exchanges. We ask the students various questions for example, what were the differences in school life, sport and culture, what were the hardest parts of the exchange and would they recommend an exchange. We got a variety of different answers, which really showed different perspectives on exchange. Overall, we are very happy with our podcast. We learned a lot and had lots of fun. We developed new skills and enjoyed the experience.
