THE ESIL TEACHING CORNER WEBINAR SERIES
The ESIL Teaching Corner Webinar Series addresses a significant gap in international legal education by shifting the focus from what is taught to how it is taught. It fosters engagement with theoretical and academic discussions on international law pedagogy through book discussions and exchanges with researchers, while also exploring innovative teaching models, including moot courts, legal clinics, and the use of film, television, and theatre. The initiative further aims to expand the ESIL Teaching Corner by developing additional resources, such as information on moot courts and legal clinics in Europe, as well as multimedia and interactive teaching materials.
Recording of the previous sessions can be found here.
