WELS Vila Nova de Gaia on Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law

ELSA Portucalense is organising the 5th edition of the Winter ELSA Law School Vila Nova de Gaia. This year's topic will change to Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law, which will take place on February 09 - 16, 2025.

In regards to the Academic Programme, our main focus is to expand our participants' knowledge of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law. Also, because quality is crucial, the Academic Programme will be carried out by the most skilled and recognised professionals who work in this field of law. At the end of the week, we prepared a Simulation of the International Court of Human Rights Law (Moot Court). 

On the other hand, we want to make sure that visiting Vila Nova de Gaia will leave an unforgettable mark on our participants. So we have prepared cultural and social activities, such as the 7 Bridges Cruise, visiting the most historical points - Clérigos Tower, Lello Library, Aliados Avenue, Dom Luís I Bridge, and many more. Also, the participants will be hosted in a very central Hostel, making it easy to visit the cultural places and access public transport.

Because having fun is an important aspect of this adventure, the participants will discover one of our big University symbols - Tuna (musicians) - as well as unforgettable nights out and clubbing. At the end of the week, there’s a Gala Ball prepared so that participants can say goodbye to our WELS in the most fun way possible. That being said, prepare your best gala outfit.

We believe that mixing all of these aspects together is the right formula to create good lasting memories and fulfilling bonds. 

Are you ready for the adventure? We are very excited to welcome you to our WELS!
