The ELSA House Training Week is an annual event hostel by ELSA Belgium which takes place in Brussels, Belgium.
The event aims at deepening the participants’ ELSA knowledge, improving their personal skills as well as knowledge about Brussels - the heart of Europe and the base of the headquarters of ELSA.
Every summer 50-60 ELSA members gather in Brussels. Throughout one intensive week the participants have the opportunity to get to know the association better
and understand all the opportunities that their membership offers.
Furthermore the participants receive training in various soft skills such as presentation,
negotiation, public speaking, team work, communication, project management, time management, etc.
The training sessions are delivered by trainers from the International Trainers’ Pool (ITP) , which consists of 35 former ELSA members from 17 countries who have
chosen to base on the skills they learned in ELSA and their later professional life. You can read more about ITP here and see a list of the trainers currently in the pool.
The program also includes visits to the European Institutions and to offices of international law Firms or companies in Brussels.
As always on international ELSA events there is an extensive social program aiming at learning about the participants’ different cultural backgrounds and thereby experience cultural diversity in its full extend.
