Internships are now being offered in conjunction with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Spirit of the Cup will give you the opportunity to participate in a 2010 World Cup community football awareness internship in Cape Town, South Africa. Practise your English language skills and help give something back to the youths in a participating township school.

The Spirit of the Cup programme focuses on youth development in Cape Town. Interns will act as football coaches as well as mentors in afternoon sessions on a daily basis.

Surfing. Is there a cooler activity than surfing? No - no way. Even the word is cool. How envious will all your friends be when you tell them you learned to surf when you were in San Diego? You'll even have a surf certificate to prove it.

You can now combine your English language course with surfing lessons. Take lessons over 1, 2 or 3 weeks - that's ten hours of instruction per week (2 hour session per day - 5 days a week). The good news is that the lessons are for English students of every level.

This week we had two groups starting in London and I'm pleased to report that both groups are having an amazing time - in their classes and around London.

This week we had the second football ticket raffle. The students have been excited all week...as well as the staff. Hopefully, we will have better weather this time :)

Unfortunately the football match between Fulham and Blackburn was cancelled only one hour before kick-off due to a frozen pitch! The match will be replayed one evening so the lucky winners of our tickets will get a chance to see the match. Fulham's football ground is located right next to the river Thames. This is a particularly cold place at the moment in London, with regular temperatures below zero!

This week marked the first Premiership Ticket Raffle, we have two half season tickets and every time there is a home game, there will be two raffles to give away these tickets. One will be for students and one will be for staff. So keep checking the EC London Blog for their photographs.

Four EC students have recently finished their voluntary placements at Malta's national hospital Mater Dei. After a 3 day training programme the students (from Korea, Japan and China) worked on the children's ward giving support to the young patients, their families and staff.
EC worked in conjunction with VolServ - a project of SOS Malta in partnership with the Ministry of Social Policy in order to develope and organise voluntary health services to support patients and relatives.

Hi,

On the 5th of December 2008 we were celebrating our Christmas tree decoration in our EC cafeteria.

This year over 35 students plus members of staff and a few teachers helped to decorate our Nordman Fir in the cafeteria whilst we were sipping mulled wine (in one of the pics you see Ana serving it in the kitchen). We also had lots of chocolates, Christmas biscuits, minced pies and Pandoro cake.
