Advanced Studies in International Children’s Rights received their master diplomas
In the presence of their families and friends, the thesis supervisors personally addressed each of the students and presented them with their well-deserved master diploma in the Academy Building’s Klein Auditorium on Monday 26 August.
In keeping with tradition at Leiden University, the students were invited to put their signatures on the walls of the so-called 'Sweat Room' (Zweetkamertje in Dutch) in the Academy Building. All students were praised for their hard work during the year, the inspiration they brought to the program and their passion for children's rights.
After the ceremony the glasses were raised in celebration in the sunny garden of Leiden University's Faculty Club.
