Student Teacher / Youth Worker Placements
This strand seeks to encourage greater structured links between both
systems and sectors and to promote understanding of the respective sytems
within the professions through the exchange of student teachers and youth
workers during their teaching practice and their youth work placements.
A grant of 950 Euros per individual is available to educational institutions
to cover the cost of placements for three weeks on a cross-border basis
of student teachers and youth workers from Northern Ireland and the Border
Region of Ireland.
In 2003-04 Stranmillis Training College, Belfast and the Church of Ireland
College of Education, Dublin were each funded to provide three week exchange
placements for five student teachers.
In 2004-05 , eleven student teachers from Marino College of Education,
Froebel College Dublin and Stranmillis College Belfast had three week
cross border placements. In addition 15 student youth workers from the
University of Ulster are to have cross border placements
Note: the participation of colleges/institutions outside the border region is based on the students involved being from the border counties.
