Study Visit to Narnia
Narnia is a land where law meets legend - a country shaped by values, storytelling, and a deep respect for tradition. From the halls of Cair Paravel to the stone-paved streets of the capital, the spirit of justice is woven into everyday life. Here, the legal system is rooted not only in written codes, but in the principles of fairness, honour, and reconciliation.
This Study Visit offers participants the chance to explore legal ideas in a setting that invites reflection. Whether it's a conversation by the fire in the Great Library, or a comparative law roundtable with Narnian students, the experience goes beyond theory, it’s about understanding law as a human and cultural force.
The Organising Committee of ELSA Narnia is proud to welcome guests into their world. Known across the Network for their warm hospitality and creativity, the Narnian OC is excited to host not just one, but potentially multiple Study Visits this season. With a carefully prepared academic programme, thoughtful cultural events, and a passion for connection, they’re ready to create an experience as memorable as the land itself.
This Study Visit is ideal for those interested in legal philosophy, storytelling in justice systems, cultural law, and the soft power of law in society. Come with curiosity, and leave with new perspectives, lifelong friendships, and a story worth sharing!
