ELSA meets Mrs Maud de Boer-Buquicchio at the Council of Europe

Mrs de Boer-Buquicchio was interested in the recent developments of the association and the plans for the future co-operation between ELSA and the Council of Europe. According to Leonid Cherniavskyi, the President of ELSA, co-operation with the Council of Europe will remain one of the main priorities of the association this year.  ELSA will continue to promote the Council of Europe and its campaigns through the website, members’ magazine and international events organised all around Europe.

Particular attention during the meeting was paid to the co-operation on the competition entitled “Our Rights, Our Freedoms” to be launched in the near future. The success of the co-operation within the Student Trainee Exchange Programme of ELSA that now allows members of the association to go on a traineeship in one of the major administrative entities of the Council of Europe was also highlighted.

Finally, members of the International Board of ELSA used the opportunity to invite Mrs de Boer-Buquicchio to the International Council Meeting that will take place in Malta from 21 – 28 March 2010.

ELSA is pleased to co-operate with the Council of Europe and is grateful to Mrs Maud de Boer-Buquicchio for her support and inspiration.
