At the end of January 2023, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) returned a real treasure to Belgium: a medieval charter bearing the seal of the Count of Flanders Philippe d'Alsace, formerly kept in the abbey of Messines (West Flanders), which had disappeared at the beginning of the First World War. A look back at the tribulations of this archival document, the restitution of which is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the PraME Centre of UNamur, the General Archives of the Kingdom and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is a first in terms of pedagogical approach: to have all the students and teachers of the Faculty of law, all blocks (bachelor in daytime and in staggered timetable) and programmes combined, work for an academic year on the same theme. From courses to practical work, including conferences, cultural and artistic events and civic engagement, all the activities proposed by the Faculty of law focus on the same theme: childhood in a migratory context. The project is called "Fill rouge" (Red thread). After a successful first four months, the momentum is building for the second half of the academic year.

More than 300 students in the Bachelor of Law programme, from both the daytime and the evening shift, took their heads out of their syllabi for an evening to project themselves into their future. Like every year, their faculty had invited them to meet with law professionals. Each of them shared their passion, their daily life, but also the darker aspects of their work. It was a perfect opportunity to discover what lies behind the many opportunities in law, grouped into five panels: lawyers, the judiciary, notaries, bailiffs, and politicians (parliamentary attachés or diplomats).
