The Guide contains 10 interactive legal education lessons developed by teams of legal clinics of Ukraine during the Street Law Hackathon “Meeting the Legal Needs of People in Wartime” and presented at the 3rd Street Law Festival in Ukraine.
The Street Law Hackathon was organised by the Association of Legal Clinics of Ukraine within the project “Strengthening the Capacity of Legal Clinics in Ensuring Access to Justice Under Martial Law”, implemented with the support of the USAID’s Justice for All Program.
The Hackathon aimed to unite the creative efforts of legal clinicians from all over Ukraine to develop original materials for raising legal awareness on meeting the legal needs of people in wartime. The teams had the opportunity to choose the topics of their developments independently, in particular, to focus on international human rights law, international humanitarian law, migration law and other relevant issues.
The Hackathon was attended by 17 teams of legal clinic-based students from different regions of Ukraine, who completed the Hackathon tasks, attended workshops and received expert support on various issues for seven consecutive days, from 21 to 28 November 2022. The teams generated ideas, tested them with students, and developed new materials for raising legal awareness under the supervision of their mentors. Participants tested themselves and their abilities in developing products for raising legal awareness in various formats, adapted them to offline and online environments, and learned how to use various technologies and apps in their developments. They were supported by experienced Ukrainian and foreign experts during workshops and training sessions.
The best legal awareness raising lessons and supplementary materials were selected based on the Hackathon results. They are available in this Guide. They will help to organise interesting sessions, aimed at raising legal awareness of young people on issues related to the legal needs of people in wartime.
