Tech Ed Trip to Dublin: A Student-Led Adventure
Last week, 44 students from the University of Macedonia’s Applied Informatics department embarked on an unforgettable educational journey to Dublin (Ireland), fully organized by the students themselves, under the guidance of their visionary professor and led by Panagiotis Vournazis. The students visited global tech giants like LinkedIn, Meta, and Google, experiencing first-hand the inspiring journeys of professionals who’ve made significant strides in the tech industry.
This journey, powered by student initiative and supported by ALFA Travel, was a testament to the transformative power of hands-on learning. It was an immersive dive into the realms of technology and education, showcasing the potential careers and breakthroughs awaiting in the tech industry.
We’re proud to have facilitated this student-led adventure, witnessing first-hand the growth, curiosity, and leadership of the next generation. May this trip inspire more like it, opening doors to future innovations and career paths.
Let’s inspire more students to take the lead on their educational paths.

Trip evaluation By students who participated
Not everyone sees what we saw and experienced
Everything perfect, very well organized!
The experience and advice we got from the companies is priceless.
The program was well structured, and there was a choice of activities. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere, there were no tensions. The destination was the most suitable for people in our field. It exceeded my expectations.
The companies we visited were awesome, they exceeded every expectation. The respective visits to the universities showed us a different perspective on what we live. From the point of view of organization, I think that the piece that was perhaps missing a degree was the history of the city and the re-reading of it as well as the visit of its most important monuments. However, because the excursion was aimed at an educational purpose on our subject, it is natural that the priorities are corresponding.
I did not expect that 5 days are enough to give us so many experiences, and in my opinion they were life changing experiences for all of us. So I would call the trip MAGICAL
