Each year between 2009 and 2018, a summer school was held in Berlin for two weeks during the South African winter break in June and July. It was hosted by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and offered an interdisciplinary forum for students in the programme, students of Humboldt-Universität and legal experts.
The students participated in lectures and workshops offered by distinguished practitioners and academics. In addition, students visited memorials relevant both to German history and to the development of international criminal law. Last but definitely not least, students got the chance to enjoy the many other possibilities that Berlin offers.
