Nomination for the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Award for Good Teaching
Prof. Endres de Oliveira is very pleased about the nomination for the shortlist of the Humboldt University of Berlin's Award for Good Teaching with her lecture “Introduction to German and European Asylum and Residence Law”, which took place in the winter semester 2024/25 in cooperation with the Refugee Law Clinic Berlin e.V.
Every year, the award recognizes outstanding and innovative teaching concepts that have been implemented as part of regular teaching at HU. Excellent teaching is a central benchmark for the quality of the university - because in the spirit of Humboldt's ideal, research can only succeed in the context of learning.
The nominated lecture combines legal fundamentals with current socio-political issues in migration law. It is part of the training for volunteer legal advisors at the RLC Berlin and creates an open space for interdisciplinary exchange and reflective learning - accessible to students of all disciplines as well as non-students. The focus is on issues of social sustainability, legal participation and an open, diverse society.
