About the summer school
Nine days summer course is designed for active members of the civic society, who are not indifferent to human rights violations and want to learn how to contribute to the protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. During the summer school students are encouraged to critically explore the main precepts and tenets, as they evaluate human rights practices at home and globally.
The summer course introduces major human rights systems, intruments and mechanism and focuses on main topics in the field of civil and political rights, such as personal security, prohibition of torture, freedom of expression, fair trial, equality, prohibition of discrimination. Students consider contemporary challanges and future prospecs of human rights protection through lectures, highly interactive seminars, case studies and group discussions.
The summer school is completed by the moot court exercise, which this year will take place at Lithuanian Constitutional Court.
