Professional resources for teachers and students
The Intercultural Ireland Content Library was created to help teachers internationalize students and classes by using Ireland, and Irish/European history, culture, business, politics, economics, language, literature and science as a platform for creating the opportunity for comparative and critical thinking as a part of the lesson. The aim is to directly and purposefully create an opportunity to develop cultural competency in every lesson, irrespective of discipline.

"Dr. Niamh Hamill and her team at the Institute of Study Abroad Ireland have created a wonderful opportunity to internationalize the classroom and develop cultural competencies. Her mini-classes are excellent - expertly designed and executed by Niamh and her colleagues. Niamh is a wonderful lecturer and brings the history of Ireland alive while drawing connections to current events in ways our students can really understand. Students love her, love the program, love Ireland. It's been a pleasure to work with Niamh for several years and it's been a privilege to witness the change in students' lives thanks to her tireless work. "
