EUTopia is the European University wherin the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and nine other partner institutions have jointly undertaken an ambitious programme of integration in teaching and research.
Connected Learning Community Legal History: Minority Rights
The EUTopia Connected Learning Community Legal History recruits a 20% Teaching Associate ("Pedagogisch Medewerker") to support the activities in the academic year 2022-2023. The EUTopia Connected Learning Communities are incubators for innovative and societally relevant teaching methods. They enable us to connect students from the various EUTopia campuses across the continent.
The Learning Community Legal History is part of the second wave of CoLeCos. Its first year of operations (2022-2023) brought together students from Brussels (VUB), Barcelona (UPF), Warwick, Ljubljana and CY Paris in a physical peak event and a number of online lectures, seminars and informal exchange moments. Lecturers, external experts and students reflected an exchanged on the transversal theme of Minority Rights. Student reports of the former can be found on the CoLeCo's blog.
The formal output (on the basis of which students have been evaluated) consisted in an online exhibition, which can be consulted here. Our students mobilised:
- embedding sources from Google Books/Gallica/Europeana
- audiovisual material, whereby they linked up legal history and an urban environment (e.g. for the Brussels case on linguistic rights: the Schaarbeek Townhall, the Palace of Justice, the ULB's buildings on the Avenue F. Roosevelt)
