Since 2022, the Faculty of Law has chosen a theme for the year that unites the entire Faculty, students and teachers alike, across all blocks and programs. This theme is used in courses, tutorials, assignments, conferences and cultural activities throughout the academic year. A new dynamic that makes the framing of the University of Namur ever more unique.
So, in 2022-2023, we have come together around CHILDHOOD & MIGRATION and in 2023-2024, around HARASSMENT in all its forms.
The 2024-2025 theme: Let's live inclusion!

Following consultation with students, we have chosen this idea that everyone has a place in society, regardless of race, gender, social class, generation, ability, romantic and/or sexual preferences,...
We will therefore be raising awareness of racism, LGBTQIA+, the less able, the elderly or very young, grossophobia, ...

Spring open courses
7 days to discover the daily life of students
During the secondary school vacations, UNamur opens the doors of its auditoriums for you to live a few hours or a few days with students, attend classes (over 300 hours available), take part in practical work, meet professors and explore the city and campus.

In practice
Who are open courses for?
Open courses are open to all, although they are primarily aimed at secondary school students to help them take that first step in exploring higher education.
What is the schedule for open courses?
Courses are open from February 27 to Wednesday, March 5, 2025, from 08:30 to 16:30.
To find out the precise timetable and location of each course, please visit the Info études service (Rue de Bruxelles, 85 5000 Namur), 15 minutes before the start of the course.
The provisional program is available 15 days before the start of open courses.
How to meet a guidance counselor
You have the opportunity to meet a guidance counselor at the guidance workshop scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, 2025, from 1:30 to 4:00 pm.
The aim of this workshop is to help you think about the guidance process, gain a better understanding of the higher education landscape and define the main markers in the process of clarifying your project (educational and professional).
Our advisor is also available by appointment for a one-to-one meeting throughout the week of open courses and outside of it.
Do you have to register to take part?
Access to open courses is without prior registration.
To participate in the orientation workshop, however, online registration is mandatory and will be available some ten days before the start of the open courses.
Who organizes the open courses?
Open courses are organized by Info études, the service that provides information on all matters relating to choice of studies, prerequisites, reorientation, gateways, course curricula, job opportunities, additional training, recognition of prior learning... or any general questions about university life in Namur.
Seminar: Gathering the views of small children and informing them to engage their participation. Cross-disciplinary and cross-border perspectives
Gathering the views of children is at the heart of the Interreg Grande Région CAPACITI project. The United Nations reminds us that children's participation in the defense of their rights relies on the training of the adults who accompany them. However, very young children represent a different audience to apprehend and more particularly those who have not yet mastered language.
This seminar is aimed at researchers as well as (future) childcare professionals - educators, carers, childcare workers - who wish to question this issue and equip themselves to better listen to and include young children. Thanks to an interdisciplinary, cross-border approach, experts from the fields of psychology, pedagogy, law and the human sciences will share their knowledge and experience. This time of exchange will provide a better understanding of how to foster children's information and participation by adapting to their abilities and needs.
