International Law +
Summer School Hamburg - Sydney
|
|
Ten undergraduate law students from Sydney are currently visiting the University of Hamburg. The visit is part of the pioneer project “International Law Plus”. This new summer school concept is just one of the many projects of the larger trilateral partnership of Macquarie University, University of Hamburg and the Fudan University in Shanghai, which is partly funded by the DAAD
Strategic Partnerships and Thematic Networks funding program
.
International Law Plus brought Australian and German students together in order to work in pairs on issues in climate change and environmental law, under the patronage of Dr Kirsten Davies and Professor Dr Markus Kotzur. Over a period of five months, starting with a visit of the German students in Sydney, and continuing online, the students developed ideas of how to face today's environmental issues. Besides academic accomplishments, the students mutually learnt about the Australian and German culture and made last but not least new friends on the other side of the globe.
