Last Monday year 12 French student Philip Crookes went on work experience to the European Commission Office in Belfast. The highlight of the day was a video-conference with the Commission in Brussels during which delegates from all the EU countries discussed and debated issues from around the EU in French and English. It was also of particular interest to Philip as he visited Brussels last year with the College and was able to talk about his experience with his mentor who travels regularly to Brussels on business. Philip was thrilled by the experience. "I always knew that languages were important but this made me realise how important languages can be in other areas of work like business, law, journalism and politics."
