AsyLex Academy

Hands-on training in asylum law for (future) practitioners

The AsyLex Academy was initially created to equip AsyLex volunteers with a fundamental understanding of the Swiss asylum procedure and to keep them updated with the latest case law. Due to the significant interest in our program, we are excited to extend the AsyLex Academy to a wider audience!

​

We now offer the AsyLex Academy to the general public twice a year, in May and September. Each session of the AsyLex Academy is centered around a specific theme and features expert speakers who provide in-depth insights on the topic. Whether you are a student, professional, or NGO representative seeking to enhance your knowledge of asylum law, the AsyLex Academy is now open to you. The participation fee is 200 CHF, with discounted rates of 100 CHF for NGO representatives and 75 CHF for students.

​

The language of the materials and presentations is mainly English; however, specific modules could also be held in German or French.​

​​

Upcoming events will be communicated on our website and social media platforms in advance.

​

If you are interested in joining us, please send an email to operations@asylex.ch indicating your personal information as well as the AsyLex Academy event(s) you would like to participate in.
