Oct 3, 2024 | News

The LAW project partners work over the past three years. This path was concluded in Croatia with the organisation of the final partner meeting and the International Conference hosted by the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Law, between 26th and 27th of September 2024!

The final meeting between the project partners served to reflect together on the conclusion of this fruitful project and the lessons learnt, to finalise the last details for the International Conference and to define the organisation of the last project activity: the organisation of Local Training Events to promote the project results in Croatia, Italy, France and Portugal.

These events will present the project’s key results, already available in 5 languages on the project website: a legal literacy textbook for students (ages 14-18), a teacher’s handbook, and an interactive platform (MOOC) on basic legal literacy. These resources, available in five languages, have been tested in schools and aim to integrate legal literacy into civic education.

The presentation of these activities and results was also the subject of the International Conference at the University of Rijeka, which was attended by various speakers and experts on the topic. In addition to the presentation of project activities and results, the future of law teaching in Europe and legal literacy in educational settings were discussed in plenary session, while round tables with experts and parallel workshops on the topic of legal literacy and civil law were organised.

The event was a great success and aimed to stimulate collective reflection on how to deal with everyday life situations through the application of the law, providing teachers and students with effective tools to support this process by developing fundamental legal skills.
