Making students active participants in their own success, getting them more involved and developing their soft skills - these are the challenges that assistants working on practical work in the law of obligations have set themselves. Since last year, they have been rethinking the way they teach by changing their posture with the aim of encouraging student success.

Getting students to work together around a single theme throughout the academic year is the dynamic that continues during this second term at the Faculty of Law. After having explored childhood and migration in its first edition, this year's Fil Rouge (Red Thread) weaves around harassment. Numerous awareness-raising initiatives have been undertaken. Just one example? In mid-March, a session dedicated to street harassment was organized by and for law students.

The Faculty of Law's project is to get students working together around a single theme, which will be implemented in all courses throughout the academic year. After exploring childhood and migration in its first edition, this year's Fil Rouge focuses on the theme of harassment. Following a conclusive first four months, the momentum has been stepped up for this second half of the academic year.

Like all human beings, children are protected by a series of rights. Géraldine Mathieu, a professor at the University of Namur, today looks at the right to identity and explains why this is still only partially respected in Belgium.

Since 2022, the Faculty of Law at the University of Namur has been mobilizing students and teachers around a common annual theme, explored through courses, practical work, as well as educational, cultural and civic activities. This project, christened "Fil Rouge", creates an original dynamic by encouraging the faculty community to examine societal issues from a cross-disciplinary and concrete prism..

This is a first in terms of pedagogical approach: to have all the students and teachers of the Faculty of law, all blocks (bachelor in daytime and in staggered timetable) and programmes combined, work for an academic year on the same theme. From courses to practical work, including conferences, cultural and artistic events and civic engagement, all the activities proposed by the Faculty of law focus on the same theme: childhood in a migratory context. The project is called "Fill rouge" (Red thread). After a successful first four months, the momentum is building for the second half of the academic year.

Gnoari Tankoano and Mathieu Traore, PhD students from Bukina Faso, have just spent three months at the Faculty of Law of UNamur. Earlier, Professor René Robaye from Namur went to Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, for a short academic stay. These exchanges were made possible thanks to the Erasmus + International Credit Mobility programme and the UNamur International Relations Department. Here is a look back at this enriching experience, both on an academic and human level.

More than 300 students in the Bachelor of Law programme, from both the daytime and the evening shift, took their heads out of their syllabi for an evening to project themselves into their future. Like every year, their faculty had invited them to meet with law professionals. Each of them shared their passion, their daily life, but also the darker aspects of their work. It was a perfect opportunity to discover what lies behind the many opportunities in law, grouped into five panels: lawyers, the judiciary, notaries, bailiffs, and politicians (parliamentary attachés or diplomats).

Congratulations to Carla Coduti and Matteo Ghislain who respectively received the public and jury prizes in the International Humanitarian Law mock trial! This very special exercise demonstrates the active pedagogical approach dear to the UNamur Faculty of Law.

Over-indebtedness, addiction, homelessness, lack of access to rights, begging... Professionals in the health, education and social action sectors are directly confronted with social inequalities and precariousness. Their commitment requires them to work in an interdisciplinary way, to take a reflective look at their practices and to use relevant theoretical models. In response to this need, UNamur, HENALLUX, HEPN and UCLouvain, in collaboration with Formanam and Resinam, are organising a Certificate in Supporting Extreme Precariousness. A discussion with Christine Mahy, General Secretary of the Walloon Anti-Poverty Network (RWLP), was held to open up the debate on some of the key issues that will be addressed during this continuing education course.
