Learning Diary
My first week undertaking the #LearnuaryNI challenge at Erasmus Traineeship Host: TrainingMatchmaker.com My first week in Belfast was full of new things to learn. When you are in a city where you’ve never been before you first have to learn how to orientate yourself and then you can start to discover it. That this isn’t always that easy, Pauline and I found out on our first day in Belfast when we got lost in Cathedral Quarter in search of our traineeship host company headquarters. After we finally found the office of TrainingMatchmaker.com our first task was to create a list of learning goals, as a part of the participative #LearnuaryNI campaign. Some of these goals have been fulfilled in our first week: first of all we learned how to use WordPress to be able to create our first learning plan blog and this achievement blog and we also learned how to use various types of media and programmes to present information to our host company audiences. We also could tick off number nine and ten of our #LearnurayNI list in combination with number eleven because we took photos and created Instagram stories at the Chinese New Year exhibition at Ulster University which were published on the Instagram presence of TrainingMatchmaker.com Trainer: Christine Watson –Moreover we took part in a Free Walking Tour through Belfast where we stopped at interesting sights such as the Albert Memorial Clock, The Big Fish, The Crown Bar, the City Hall, the harbour, the Grand Opera House Belfast, certain pubs and restaurants and much, much more. Our guide was very pleasant and he told us about Belfast in an informing but also entertaining way so that it was a pleasure to listen to him.
