ROLE Campaign ELSA’s alumni association was founded in 1991 as the ELSA Lawyers Society and restructured to ELSA Alumni in 2019. It was therefore evident for the executive board that ELSA should collaborate with ELSA Alumni. For this reason, the executive board attended the meeting of ELSA Alumni’s Advisory Board at which it became clear that both associations wish to advocate on the rule of law. In returning to our strengths and purposes, ELSA and ELSA Alumni decided to launch a Rule of Law Education (ROLE) Campaign with the purpose of educating the youth of Europe on their fundamental rights and the rule of law. This will involve training ELSA members to become rule of law trainers who will subsequently work with primary and secondary education providers to teach young people. The goal of the campaign is to conduct such education across the European continent.
