The European Convention on Human Rights in Times of Crises
blended courseWe are happy to invite you to the 2nd international
summer school "Human Rights in Theory and
Practice", which will take place in Dresden from
September 5th to 10th 2021. The summer school will
focus on the topic of “The European Convention on
Human Rights in Times of Crises” and will explore
various challenges and opportunities for the
European Human Rights System arising out of
situations of crisis. Themes such as emergency
situations, populism, migration, and the role of
economic, social, and cultural rights in the context of
crisis will be explored from an interdisciplinary
perspective. Once again, it will be one of the summer
school’s special ingredients that speakers will include
both academics as well as practitioners, offering the
unique opportunity to gain insights into current
theoretical discussions as well as the everyday
challenges of practicing law
