Questionnaire
1.a)
Bilateral and multilateral student exchange programmes and study
visits, international conferences on human rights and international
law.
b) Information about events, contact details.
c)
Most of ELSA’s current activities such as local, national and
international seminars and conferences, international study visits,
moot court competitions, legal research groups and student trainee
exchange programmes already fit under the description of CoP. Our
vision is “A just world in which there is respect for human dignity and
cultural diversity” and Human Rights is an area that is always in focus
for our Association. Therefore we would most probably continue to
organize youth activities such as the ones described above but to a
larger extent and with more focus on the international aspects.
d)
We basically have all the preconditions for organizing these kinds of
activities as regards to human resources, well established network and
cooperation with institutions, universities and externals. The only
thing which is a constant battle is funding.
2.a) As ELSA is
an international association with member groups in 35 countries in
Europe it is hard for us to answer this question. To give an answer
based on the situation in Belgium where we have our head office is
rather pointless.
b) International youth conferences and
similar larger events but mainly to give support to initiatives by NGOs
in the field of CoP. As for our association, the main need of support
is financial such.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS
3. It is all
about making activities easy accessible. This means basically removing
obstacles in the way of the individual youth to the international CoP
activity. Those obstacles could be difficulties in getting information
about events, participation fees, travel costs etc. A lot of these
obstacles could be removed if the organizing party receives the proper
support from for example different institutions.
6. See the answer to question 3
7.a)There
are a lot of international student organizations working for a CoP or
at least as the case is with us, where the key elements of the
CoP is integrated in their activities on an international level.
However, I do not think that our possibilities of listing them is any
better than your organization’s.
