A little bit more about Strasbourg and its surroundings:
Strasbourg is considered a 'Capital of Europe' because it hosts key European institutions, including the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, and the European Court of Human Rights. During the Summer School, you will have the chance to visit these institutions, engage with experts, and gain firsthand insight into the workings of European Institutions.
Furthermore, Strasbourg is a vibrant, culturally rich city, offering a mix of French and German influences due to its history, which is noticeable through the city's architecture, traditional museums and local cuisine. And, last but not least, its central location allows you to take a train and easily travel to other European cities, like Paris, Brussels, Berlin, or Geneva.
