Getting students to work together around a single theme throughout the academic year is the dynamic that continues during this second term at the Faculty of Law. After having explored childhood and migration in its first edition, this year's Fil Rouge (Red Thread) weaves around harassment. Numerous awareness-raising initiatives have been undertaken. Just one example? In mid-March, a session dedicated to street harassment was organized by and for law students.

The Faculty of Law's project is to get students working together around a single theme, which will be implemented in all courses throughout the academic year. After exploring childhood and migration in its first edition, this year's Fil Rouge focuses on the theme of harassment. Following a conclusive first four months, the momentum has been stepped up for this second half of the academic year.

As part of the Master's degree specializing in Digital Law, the Faculty of Law at the University of Namur is offering an innovative teaching project, much appreciated by both students and the start-ups that benefit from it, called "NAMUR LEGAL LAB".

Over-indebtedness, addiction, homelessness, lack of access to rights, begging... Professionals in the health, education and social action sectors are directly confronted with social inequalities and precariousness. Their commitment requires them to work in an interdisciplinary way, to take a reflective look at their practices and to use relevant theoretical models. In response to this need, UNamur, HENALLUX, HEPN and UCLouvain, in collaboration with Formanam and Resinam, are organising a Certificate in Supporting Extreme Precariousness. A discussion with Christine Mahy, General Secretary of the Walloon Anti-Poverty Network (RWLP), was held to open up the debate on some of the key issues that will be addressed during this continuing education course.

Making students active participants in their own success, getting them more involved and developing their soft skills - these are the challenges that assistants working on practical work in the law of obligations have set themselves. Since last year, they have been rethinking the way they teach by changing their posture with the aim of encouraging student success.

Since 2022, the Faculty of Law has chosen an annual theme that brings together the entire faculty—students and faculty alike—across all tracks and programs. This overarching theme is incorporated into courses, tutorials, assignments, public speaking competitions, lectures, and educational and cultural activities offered throughout the academic year. This inspiring and values-driven dynamic continues to make the educational environment at the University of Namur even more unique. Thus, in 2022–2023, we focused on CHILDHOOD & MIGRATION; in 2023–2024, on HARASSMENT in all its forms; and in 2024–2025, on INCLUSION, with the goal of enabling everyone to find their place in society regardless of race, gender, social class, generation, ability, romantic and/or sexual preferences, and so on. Throughout the year, we raised awareness about racism, LGBTQIA+ issues, people with disabilities, the elderly and very young, fatphobia, and more.
