Fundamental Rights on the Street Legal Clinic, in collaboration with the Co-existence Municipal Program in Getafe, 5th Edition. March-May 2010.
This is a teaching innovation project that has been in place since the 2004-05 school-year in the framework of the optional course Fundamental Rights, in the Law Licenciatura (Spanish 4-year undergraduate program) in the Universidad Carlos de Madrid, on the Getafe and Colmenarejo Campuses. In this project, students in the Theory and History of Human Rights course, after having acquired precise theoretical knowledge and having carried out teaching-learning dynamics in class, develop a program of visits to secondary learning centers in the area to explain issues related to the challenges Human Rights face. The tutors for these students are not only the University-course professors, but also graduate students from the “Bartolomé de las Casas” Human Rights Institute. These activities are carried out within the framework of the Programa de Convivencia Municipal del Ayuntamiento de Getafe (Co-existence Municipal Program in Getafe).
