Always a pleasure to return to the College of Europe in Natolin to teach my course on #EU-#MiddleEast relations.These are challenging times but critical discussion remains more important than ever. A heartfelt thank you to my students—keep striving and fighting for a better, more just world!

This is not the moment to feel fatigued because it takes time to make the world a better place but it takes an instant to make it a horrible place.

A true intellectual does not only transmit knowledge but also empowers the audience! Thank you so much Francesca for such an empowering, informative and inspirational evening! @aissr.bsky.social @fmg-uva.bsky.social

Seeing our own institutions and colleagues failing to uphold core human principles makes the situation even more painful. Let’s remember, that #humanrights are protected and defended by taking sides, not by turning a blind eye!

#Academia must be more than a silent witness. It must be a battleground for #truth, #facts and #research. @aissr.bsky.social @fmg-uva.bsky.social

Another great turn out for our last event in this year’s Practitioners Engagement Series! It was an honour to host Ambassador Dr Namira Negm, who gave an inspiring talk on ""The #ICJ Ruling on #Palestine: Between International Law and #Politics” #ATHENAJEANMONNETCHAIR
