The next ENLIGHT Public Engagement webinar 8: Social Justice at the centre of learning & teaching in Law will take place on Thursday 4 July 2024, 12.30-13.30 (CET)

The Legal Clinic for Social Justice of the Law Faculty of the University of the Basque Country has developed innovative ways to learn and teach Law, where students are at the centre. Working with local social stakeholders, (mainly NGOs, and other actors), students get involved in real cases related to social justice and systemic discrimination in the local society.  The session highlights the experiences of clinic students and it explains the transferable theoretical grounds, diverse tools and instruments that the Legal Clinic uses to foster the social function of the university, engage students in critical thinking and work with different actors.
