▶Objectives
The IHL RED project aimed to establish clinical legal education in the area of IHL and humanitarian affairs as a core component of legal training in the European Education Area for the benefit of future generations of students. We intended to equip the next generation of IHL lawyers with an expertise applicable to real-world situations, thus improving these graduates' employability while at the same time offering specialized and trained recruits to employers. We wanted to improve and develop teaching strategies and methods in the field of IHL via the clinical method, encouraging a "learning by doing" approach. By relying on digital tools for accessibility and collaboration purposes, we wanted to make these methodologies and tools easily usable by other institutions of higher education. Promoting the sharing of knowledge and improving the skills demand-supply relations, all the while disseminating the core values of IHL mirrored our cooperation partnership's main objective: IHL RED, Research, Education and Dissemination.
