After carefully evaluating the COVID-19 situation in each of the hosting countries for the WELS, the International Board had to make the very difficult decision to cancel the Winter ELSA Law Schools 2020/2021 Cycle. The 2nd Edition of WELS Vila Nova de Gaia will not happen in 2021 , but we believe that it’s in order to protect everyone’s health . We are sure that we will all meet again soon , our WELS is waiting for you in 2022 , until then stay safe !
Beatriz Inácio - Head of the OC
