Summer: SHU Dingle Internship

National Geographic once described Dingle and County Kerry region as “the most beautiful place on Earth.”

Many refer to this idyllic location as the “best of both worlds” since it provides visitors with all of the amenities of a tourist haven, but in an authentic setting with traditional Irish culture. Dingle is a place with welcoming locals and many hospitable places in which to meet them: tremendous learning resources, magnificent relics, ruins and holy places, outstanding access to other areas of the country-and to Europe, immersive activities and opportunities to try something new, and a vast, living record of folklore, celebrations, history and authentic music and dance. If you wish to experience all that Ireland has to offer, the Dingle Peninsula Gaeltacht is where you want to be. In Irish, “An Gaeltacht” refers to the few areas in Ireland in which Irish is the community language of the people. In these areas, people work to preserve the vitality of the language and all aspects of Irish culture.

Complementing the traditional culture are the modern amenities that make Dingle ideal: banking institutions, high-quality medical facilities, retail shops, accessibility of bus and train services, a regional airport for travel throughout Europe and proximity to larger towns and cities such as Tralee, Cork and Killarney. Your home base is in the heart and soul of the Peninsula, Dingle Town - a thriving Irish fishing port teeming with restaurants, shops and lively pubs. Both instrumental music and song have a long tradition in the area, and Dingle is renowned among music-lovers, in fact, a variety of music can be heard any night of the week.
