Céilí Night for SONM International Students
International students enjoyed a great evening of dancing, socialising and overall fun
International students from the School of Nursing & Midwifery (SONM) enjoyed a great evening of dancing, socialising and overall fun recently at a Céilí in The Mini Rest, Main Campus, UCC.
Over 60 students as well as recent graduates attended and participated. There was also a great turn out from SONM staff. All stepped out with gusto and made a memorable evening of music and mirth.
The traditional music was supplied by Uilleann Ceoil whose member, Ann Foley, UCC Library ably taught the steps to many dances including the Walls of Limerick, the Siege of Ennis, Polkas and Shoe the Donkey. There was great laughter to be heard learning these. One student, Colette Sweeny, BSc Nursing Studies joined the Céilí Band with her tin whistle and added to the enjoyment of the night. We were also entertained with Irish dancing from Maria O’Shea, SONM Lecturer, daughter Niamh and her friend Leah.
It was a wonderful opportunity for students to take a break from studies and assignments. They highlighted that it was an important event in helping them to socialise with each other as well as enjoy some nice food and experience Irish culture.
