(Le français suivra sous peu.) I had the pleasure of being selected to participate in the intensive Summer School International Humanitarian Law class. Initially, I was interested in participating in the course as I wanted to build on my basic knowledge of International law. However, this program provided me with much more. I had the opportunity to learn about IHL from various viewpoints, to read and apply the Conventions and have such an enriching summer experience! One of my favourite moments of the program was Thursday when we completed the full simulation day. This was an amazing opportunity for students to apply the concepts we had learned during the week and receive constructive feedback from professionals. It allowed us to learn outside of the conventional class setting and have a great time doing it. I strongly recommend the course for those that are passionate about learning and building a foundation in International Law and having a great summer experience! Thank you to all those that helped make it a wonderful and organized program.
