Why did you choose this program?
I chose this program because I wanted to gleam my professional experience in the field of law with further theoretical background. I was particularly interested in the nexus between businesses and other actors and how they impact human rights law.

Was the participation in the Summer School useful for you? What have you gained?
The exposure to and the discussions with people from diverse legal systems were priceless. Furthermore, the field trips allowed a greater appreciation of German history and experiences.

Any tips for future participants?
If you are doubting whether to join or not - don’t hesitate! Pack your bags and brace yourself for a month of rewarding experiences! Be prepared to spend every weekend in a different city or even different country if you want. If you get the chance, go to Hamburg! Also, remember that Germans take punctuality rather religiously!

Please, summarize your experiences and impressions
The program had an impressive balance of academic and social activities. Best of all, the friends I made here made the summer program the most rewarding.
