- Polish legal commentator Jarosław Gwizdak describes a recent visit to Bratislava for a seminar linked to a European research project.
- The project is developing an index to measure how well citizens and civil society organizations know, understand and apply their constitutions.
- Researchers from France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland are taking part, with the project still in its early stages.
A European seminar brought Polish legal commentator Jarosław Gwizdak to Bratislava, a city he describes as summery, slow-paced and still slightly dusty. His impressions of Slovakia are tied to several figures from the country’s legal and social world, including investigative journalist Ján Kuciak.
The seminar forms part of a European project involving researchers from France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. The group is working on a tool designed to assess what the project calls “constitutional embeddedness”: how citizens and civic organizations know, understand and use their countries’ constitutions.
The project has only just begun. Once the index is completed, Gwizdak says he will be glad to share it with readers.
