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.

As part of the Francqui Chair 2022-2023 of the Faculty of Law, Lucie Cluzel, professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris Nanterre, was invited to discuss topics related to digital law.

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.

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.

Are you a student at the UNamur or a member of staff, and do you face situations that require legal explanations? The two Legal Labs for consumer law and for students are there for you.

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 committed to uniting students and teachers around a common annual theme, explored in all courses, assignments, educational, cultural and civic engagement activities. This "Fil Rouge" creates a unique dynamic, enabling the faculty community to delve into societal issues through a cross-cutting, concrete approach.
