A- We are in a very small region. There’s a lot of history, a lot of wars cause troubles. I grew up with that. So, peace is a big thing in our country now, try to maintain the peace.
Community is another thing. I came from a small town, so it’s a very close community. We love to have fun talk to people, go out and drink Guiness. All the stereotypes are living.
B- I’m shy. I talk to people when I know them. I play an Irish sport : the Gaelic football, a mix of basketball, rugby and football, mixed into one sport. I played in my club in the small town, it takes a lot of my time, and I’m going to work the rest of my time. I play foldback, my work is to defend.
3/ Aine secret’s life by Catherine
It’s 7:30 pm and Aine finishes curling her hair. She puts on her favourite diamond and her Louboutin. The concierge calls her hotel room to tell her that Limousine is there. She gets into the Limousine, she speeds through the streets of Paris to the newest high end fish restaurant. As she enters the restaurant, there is a murmur and the staff looks very nervous. She’s taking to her seat and a member of staff runs to the kitchen to tell the chef that the most notorious critic is here to review their restaurant. She is fair in her work but she doesn’t like escalopes.

ages, genders, with a lot of different backgrounds.
B- I’m a project manager. I got to work on a lot of different Europe countries. My favorite ones are

can use support, education, as well as building relationships to create a happier and healthier

A- Our company is based in Denmark but I’m from Ireland, in the North. So, I’ve just visited Denmark a handful of times, but one of the things I notice is the similarity with Irish weather, quite
rainy, it makes me feel close, Denmark looks familiar to me.
One of the differences is that they have a lot of bicycles and they are taller than Irish people. They
are very innovative, in relation to technology, business and transport. It’s different with Ireland
where we have less innovation, specially in transport like bicycles and buses.
B- I like to talk to people a lot. My work colleagues and partners all know that. I like to get to know
people, to connect with what they are doing in their lives.
Now, I miss everyone. When everything will open, I will be very busy. I love music, I sing and play
music. For years, I sang in a choir, and we traveled to Europe and America. In the choir, we sing
everything from traditional music to pop music, and even some rock’n roll like Gun’s and roses.
We took half a bus on a plane to go to America.
3/ Catherine’s secret life by Aine
It’s Sunday night, her alarm goes on, she knows what that means. She gets off, puts on her headfoot, shorts, sweatshirt. No, she goes downstairs and has breakfast even though it’s 12 at night.
She has two eggs, she drinks then a protein shake. She’s getting her water bottle, her keys and
gets out. Then, she drives 10 minutes and she is alone unless she goes to the gym all night long.
This is her mission : to become the world’s greatest bodybuilder. It’s Catherine’s dream but her
fiancé doesn’t want her to be a bodybuilder.
