Denpasar, FLUNUD.ac.id - On Thursday (24/10/2024), at 9 am London time and 3 pm Denpasar time, an international collaboration program between City Law School (CLS), London, and FH Unud, Bali, officially began which took place at the Rudang Video Conference FH Unud Denpasar Campus. The program is part of the Transnational Legal Education on Gender Equality and Law project, which is funded by the British Council and Research England through the Overseas Development Agency. This collaboration aims to advance transnational legal education with a focus on gender equality in the global legal system, with real case-based learning from developed countries (Global North) and developing countries (Global South).

The workshop, which lasted for 3.5 hours, involved 10 FH Unud students under the coordination of I Gusti Ngurah Parikesit Widiatedja (lecturer at the International Law Lab/Section of FH Unud), as well as 10 students from CLS coordinated by Eraj Haidari (lecturer at CLS). The learning took place on a hybrid basis, allowing direct interaction between students in Bali and London through technology that connects two time zones and two different legal cultures.

At this inaugural meeting, the focus was on a comparative study of gender equality issues in the Global North and Global South. From CLS, Kyra Jasper, a women and human rights activist, was present. Meanwhile, from FH Unud, Ni Putu Chandra Dewi, a women and human rights activist. After the presentation of material from both speakers, students were divided into small groups consisting of a combination of CLS and FH Unud students. These groups were designed to facilitate in-depth discussions and a closer exchange of ideas between students from different legal backgrounds. This interaction is expected to foster cross-cultural understanding in addressing gender and discrimination issues.

Each group is also guided to produce collaborative research on gender equality and law, which will be developed into a scientific paper. With this collaboration, students from both universities will write and publish their research results in the CLS Working Papers series. For FH Unud students, this publication will be a significant achievement, as their names will be listed as co-authors with students from CLS. In addition to being involved in writing scientific papers, students from the Faculty of Law Udayana University will also be interviewed in two podcasts on City Law School (CLS) radio to share their experiences during this program.
