The meeting that gathered representatives of the Council of Europe, Faculty of Law at the State University of Moldova and Coalition for Inclusion and Non-Discrimination was focused on searching opportunities for cooperation in the field of promoting equality and non-discrimination in higher education.
An important aspect in the education of law school students and their future professional work is the protection of human rights, the promotion of equality and the principle of non-discrimination. In addition, many graduates from law faculties join law enforcement agencies, where they are directly responsible for protecting all vulnerable individuals, regardless of personal characteristics or affiliations. Therefore, it is crucial to provide an inclusive and up-to-date educational framework, including modern interactive tools to provide additional opportunities for gaining knowledge about European standards, national legislative framework and good practices in this field.
The participants of this initial meeting confirmed interest in further cooperation and identified key areas of cooperation that include promoting tools and resources for education of legal professionals.
The visit is part of the Council of Europe project ”Enhancing diversity and equality in the Republic of Moldova”, implemented in the framework of the Council of Europe Action Plan for the Republic of Moldova for 2021-2024 and funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Council of Europe project ’’Promoting non-discrimination in the Republic of Moldova.
