At all stages of the project, the students were in the position of actors to identify discrimination in the practical cases proposed to the students. How, on the basis of discrimination concretely identified in a judgment of a national court, after exhaustion of all domestic remedies in the country, the European citizen can refer the matter to the European Court of Human Rights to assert his rights. Written legal texts are not symbolic or fixed and students must know them, master them and put them into practice as European citizens.
The project "Simulations of pleadings before the European Court of Human Rights" made it possible to make the participants (learners and trainers) aware of the European Convention on Human Rights as an effective and relevant tool for the defence of human rights in the countries of the European Union and the Council of Europe. The students became the promoters of human rights through the exercise of simulating pleadings.
