Learning unit contents
The object of this course is the analysis of some general topics concerning human rights in a European context, chosen by the professor and the students, through an analysis of legal literature. During the first year of this course, topics included the birth of the European system of human rights and their typical characteristics, the rights of the child, and certain topics related to health rights (abortion, euthanasia, the commitment of people with mental disorders, etc.).The students themselves are asked to suggest topics.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The study and analysis of general human rights topics serves as a pretext for improving, or at least maintaining, the students' written and above all spoken level of Dutch. The course is interactive, with a smaller class promoting more intensive work. Knowledge of Dutch language skills in the field of law is as important as legal knowledge, both of which are inseparable assets in a legal course taught in Dutch.
Skills developed: take part in a conversation in another language than French in simple conversations on familiar or personal topics; understand the main points when listening to standard language and produce a simple and coherent discourse in the context of professional discussions; present a legal issue to a group using adequate legal terminology.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Minimal active knowledge of Dutch is required; otherwise the student will not be able to participate in class, where attendance is mandatory. Specific knowledge in the field of human rights is not a prerequisite.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Students are expected to have read the text that will be analysed in class, in order to participate actively.

Face-to-face course
