Day one in Szeged. Spent the afternoon wandering the city before the conference kicks off properly. The architecture, the food, the people. Already a fan. Old friends, new faces, and a proper sense of community. This is why I keep coming back. More to come. #EFYE2026
Day one of #EFYE2026 Ran two workshops, fuelled by some seriously good coffee Handed out a load of Sheriff badges too. Turns out a border collie’s face on a badge is a better icebreaker than anything I could put on a slide More old friends, more new faces
#EFYE2026 had a bit of everything! A workshop where I might have discovered a long-lost cousin. Go to Hungary, come home with new family. The diaspora is wild. A hacky sack juggling game that my team absolutely won. For the record. The Irish crew got together for a photo too.
What a fantastic day at #PeerForum26. The choice of presentations and workshops was amazing. Great to hear student leaders and colleagues from Norway, Sweden, Portugal & Canada on Peer Led Initiatives in HE. #PeerSupport #PALS @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social #EdBudds #SportBudds
Off to Edinburgh for #PeerForum26 I’ll be presenting on the pilot peer support programme we ran at Marino this semester, looking at supporting first-year students before placement.
Today is Tasters and Tours at MIE. Not a traditional Open Day, and that's deliberate.
Very interesting article by my friend @columfromcork.bsky.social reflecting on structural constraints facing college students as they juggle multiple demands and ways to build structured space/time on campus to create belonging
Colum@columfromcork.bsky.social · 6mo agoMy article has just been published in Waypoint. It’s about how the structures we create, timetables, campus spaces, even how we organise the first week, shape whether students stick around or head straight home.

This week was graduation week at MIE! Our graduates have shown resilience, creativity and an extraordinary commitment to their vocation. Hayley’s speech reminded us of the strong sense of community that defines MIE and the impact that great teachers can have on young lives.
🎓 This week’s graduation ceremonies were a wonderful celebration of our students’ achievements. Comhghairdeas ó chroí to everyone who crossed the stage and everyone who supported them along the way.

Heading home from Denmark 🇩🇰 Biggest takeaway: designing student experiences isn’t about adding more, it’s about inviting better Thanks to Education Esbjerg, Kenneth Bjerre & @marinoinstitute.bsky.social for making it possible
Early start! Off to Denmark to deliver a couple of workshops for Education Esbjerg Sharing work from @marinoinstitute.bsky.social on designing student experiences that invite imagination, not just information Looking forward to catching up with familiar faces from #EFYE2025
It was a pleasure to welcome our first-year students to campus this week @marinoinstitute.bsky.social The sense of anticipation is palpable! Wishing them an incredible journey ahead & friendships that last a lifetime @miecampuslife.bsky.social
