Course objectives
The aim of the course is to prepare students for the presentation of legal topics for non-legal audiences.
Learning outcomes
The course will focus on preparing students of the Faculty of Law for the presentation of legal topics to non-legal audiences (eg teaching at secondary schools).
In the first part of the course, students will acquire the skills needed to master the role of a lecturer, such as a teacher in secondary school teaching the basics of social sciences (or selected legal topics), then apply these skills in teaching (eg in partner secondary schools). An integral part of the course is individual feedback and group reflection on teaching.
After completing the course the student will be able to:

teach well in terms of form and content
