Hi there, Idan

Why did you choose to participate in SULaw's Summer Program?

I chose the program to broaden my legal knowledge on a global scale, gain international legal perspectives, and experience studying in a diverse academic environment at Stockholm University.

Which course(s) did you choose and why did you choose them?

I chose the courses in Reproductive Justice and International Commercial Mediation. Right before coming to Stockholm, I completed a negotiation workshop in Israel, so I was eager to expand and deepen my knowledge in mediation and dispute resolution. In addition, the Reproductive Justice course allowed me to explore important human rights and comparative legal questions in an international setting.

What are your tips and tricks to make the most of the course(s) and your stay at SULaw?

  • Engage actively in class discussions—the diverse international perspectives from fellow classmates add immense value to the material.
  • Find the courage to reach out, connect, and talk with other students in the Program; it’s a unique two-week opportunity to build meaningful connections.
  • Make sure to explore the city as much as possible and definitely go swimming, as Stockholm in the summer is simply wonderful for outdoor activities.

What did you enjoy most during your stay in Stockholm?

Beyond the academic experience, I loved exploring the city during the summer, especially walking through Gamla Stan, enjoying the waterfront, and experiencing the welcoming local atmosphere and food.

Why should other students choose to study our Summer Program?

SULaw and Stockholm offer a great balance between high-level academics and social/cultural activities. Alongside the courses, the Program gives you the opportunity to learn about the city itself through organized activities, museum visits, and shared experiences with students from around the world.

How would you summarize SULaw Summer Program with 3 words?

Inspiring, enriching, and fun.
