Our team had the privilege of participating in an international training event that expanded our expertise and understanding of working with young people prone to criminal behavior. The training, held from October 23rd to 26th in Antaliepte, Lithuania was conducted beyond the scope of the “Convicts: Growing of Competencies” project and provided a valuable opportunity to enhance our skills in this field.  

The collaborative efforts at the national level enabled us to be joined by representatives from the Probation Service of Timisoara. Their presence enriched the training’s perspective and added a valuable dimension to our learning experience. The training was designed for youth workers who are currently involved or may potentially work with young people who are at risk of engaging in criminal activities. The primary focus of this international training was to broaden our competencies in working with young people prone to criminal behavior. 

We received invaluable theoretical insights into understanding individuals prone to criminal behavior and an overview of the methods that should be adapted when working to enhance the social skills of young people at risk of criminal activities. 

This training event was a significant milestone in our journey to develop competencies for working with youth at risk of engaging in criminal activities.
