ACTIVEAbout STARS: SKILLS TRANSFERS IN ACADEMIA: A RENEWED STRATEGY ENGANCING LEGAL CLINICS IN THE EU
We are a consortium, composed by 5 Universities (Luxembourg, Roma Tre, Brescia, Palackeho V Olomouci, Romano-Americana) that have been granted by the Erasmus Plus Programme (the European Commission's Programme for education, training, youth and sport), which aims to develop innovation in higher education, especially regarding to the innovative teaching methods (i.e. legal clinics). Our project (which lasts 36 months, from 1-09-2017 to 31-08-2020), named "Skills Transfers In Academia : A Renewed Strategy Enhancing legal clinics in the European Union (STARS) aims to achieve relevant and high quality of students'‚Äã knowledge, skills and competences, draw up a set of formalized criteria to evaluate legal clinics quality, promote transnational learning, teaching and training activities in the field of consumer law. The target groups of dissemination activities outside the partnership: civil society, future employers (local), consumers (local), pro bono organizations (local, regional, European), legislatures (local and European). Legal clinics provide "community service" which is an extension of university expertise to the world outside the university, the community, in the service of improving the quality of life of the community and which is effected through a university model in which community service is integral to all aspects of the university: mission, structure and organization, hiring and promotion, curriculum and teaching, research and publications (the so called third mission of universities). Our project bringing together Universities from all over the EU has the ambition to develop the presence of legal clinics in most European law schools by providing scientific material on this issue, notably through the creation of a online platform accessible to the public and by disseminating this information as well as the outcomes of the project through other digital channels.
