We are proud to be involved in the European wide Erasmus+ school exchange programme!
Erasmus+ is an EU and Leargas funded student exchange initiative where schools from across Europe work together on educational and cultural projects. Our first Erasmus+ project, ‘Comenius’, took place from 2012-2014 and involved our Transition Year students travelling to schools from all across Europe.
Following on from this highly successful exchange programme, Meán Scoil Mhuire had no hesitation in joining the ‘You-Topia’ Erasmus+ project in 2016, which ran until 2019. During the course of this programme fourteen Transition Year students travelled to schools in Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Latvia and Italy.
At present the school is taking part in our third Erasmus+ project, 'Bridges of Belonging', which sees students visit and work alongside schools from Germany, Italy, France and Spain. This project started in 2024, when our partner schools came to Longford for a week. The current project is set to last until 2027. Through these pan European projects, our students have had some wonderful experiences, while also making friends for life along the way.
