The Erasmus+ K131 mobility in Ireland, where the students of the Livestock and Animal Health Assistance cycle spent two months on dairy cattle farms, offered an experience of great educational and personal value. From an academic point of view, I hoped that the students would deepen their technical knowledge of cattle management, especially in milk production. By being immersed in the Irish rural environment, the students had the opportunity to learn about sustainable production systems and compare them with the methods used in their home areas, adapted to the specific climatic and geographical conditions in Ireland. A key aspect of the mobility was the exposure to new livestock management practices, such as breeding and genetic selection, feeding cattle based on the efficient use of pasture and the implementation of modern technologies for milk production control and monitoring. Irish farms stand out for their focus on animal welfare and sustainability, elements that the students were able to observe and apply during their stay. In addition, the context of livestock production in Ireland, with a strong focus on the export of high quality dairy products, provided students with a broader understanding of the global market and marketing strategies for livestock products. Living with farm families added an enriching cultural dimension to the experience. I hoped the students would develop interpersonal skills and gain a deeper understanding of the rural Irish way of life. This type of cultural immersion is key to fostering adaptability, tolerance and openness to other ways of working and living. By living with local families, the students not only improved their English language skills, but also experienced first-hand the value of teamwork and the crucial role of families in sustaining livestock farms. From a personal perspective, I hoped that this mobility would allow the students to strengthen skills such as autonomy, problem-solving and decision-making in new and challenging environments. Living and working on an Irish farm for two months, far from their usual environment, gave them the opportunity to develop greater personal and professional responsibility, facing real situations and applying their knowledge in diverse contexts. Another expectation was that the mobility would foster the students' entrepreneurial spirit. By observing different models of livestock management, the students were able to reflect on new ideas and approaches that they could implement in their future career paths, either as employees in the livestock sector or as future entrepreneurs. The experiences gained, both on a technical and cultural level, will strengthen their skills and knowledge, giving them a more global and critical view of the sector. Finally, I hoped that the Erasmus+ mobility will contribute to the internationalisation of the students' vocational training, preparing them better to face the challenges and opportunities of a constantly evolving and increasingly globally connected livestock sector. This experience will not only benefit their individual development, but also the academic environment they come from, as they will share the knowledge and skills acquired with their peers and teachers, enriching the teaching-learning process at their school. In summary, the two-month stay on dairy farms in Ireland provided the students of the Livestock and Animal Health Assistance course with a comprehensive experience that combines technical learning with cultural immersion, helping them to develop essential skills both professionally and personally.
