ENCLE Spring Workshop
Location: Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Date: 15 and 16 April 2015
Theme: Preparing students for clinic
The European Network for Clinical Legal Education (ENCLE) will be holding a workshop on the theme of preparing students for clinic. The workshop will be held at Northumbria University on 15 and 16 April 2015 and is supported by the Open Society Initiative for Europe (OSIFE).
The aim of the workshop is to generate discussion, through themed sessions, as to how clinicians can prepare their students for a clinical experience. Delegates will be able to share their own ideas and experiences whilst learning from others.
Session facilitators will be drawn from a range of jurisdictions to enhance the discussion and draw out ideas for best practice. The workshop is intended for both new and experienced clinical teachers, with a focus on strengthening their ability to prepare students for engagement in legal clinic.
