He summed up the results of the module "Protection of Human Rights within and across the European Union" implemented for the Bachelor law students.

“The Winter School of Law is a project that explains to our young people their rights and obligations. I would like to remind you that the main target audience for which this school was conceived is schoolchildren. Tou may ask why schoolchildren.
