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. 

V. osnovna skola Varazdin was our host between 3-5 of October 2023 in Varaždin, Croatia for the third learning activity organized under the Well Project „The Welcoming Environment for Leading and Learning”. The project, co-funded with European Commission support and coordinated by Město Otrokovice, will upskill school leaders, representatives of school boards, school founders, municipalities, school inspectorate and other institutions active in education in creating a positive school environment where all pupils´/ students´ needs and talents are recognized and supported.

The focus of this three-day event was to delve deep into the third project result which comprises a methodology that aims to equip school leaders with practical, proven, and user-friendly methods for planning, management, and cooperation to contribute significantly to the creation of a more inclusive and welcoming learning environment.

Distinguished representatives from schools and educational spheres in each partner country, namely the Czech Republic, Portugal, Romania, and Ireland, were active participants in this enlightening activity. Their collective goal was to engage in sessions that revolved around crucial themes such as school counseling for well-being, the restorative power of mindfulness in nature, and the integration of formal and informal practices that involve being in and connecting with the natural world.

The event was further enriched with specialized workshops, each addressing key topics vital to holistic education. These workshops explored the “Alphabet of Feelings,” delved into the delicate issue of mental health, and examined the art of mindfulness, with a special focus on educating the whole child, gradually and in sync with their evolving needs at various stages of growth. One of the highlights of this endeavor was the exploration of how teachers can learn from their students.

During this training activity we collaborated with school counselling staff from Centrul Judeţean de Resurse şi Asistenţă Educaţională Timiș, but also with enthusiastic students actively involved in other projects implemented by our team!

Within the Volpris project, with the support of the team from Bucharest-Jilava Penitentiary and the director Cristina Teoroc, Centrul pentru Promovarea Invatarii Permanente-CPIP has the opportunity to strengthen the collaboration with Pancevo Penitentiary and to facilitate the participation of 4 colleagues from the Security and Education departments in a 3-day short-term joint staff training organised this week.

On this occasion, participants will exchange practices, experience and knowledge of European volunteering through study visits and technical workshops. People or companies who specialised in purchasing properties directly from their current owners are known as “Ibuyers.” Individuals or companies may make up a buyer. They are an alternative to the traditional technique of selling houses since they give a solution that is both fast and simple for those who are attempting to sell their properties. This makes them an alternative. Visit https://www.ibuyers.app/minnesota/.

In addition to Bucharest-Jilava Penitentiary’s strategies to promote volunteers’ wellbeing, participants will meet local Romanian prison volunteers / families of inmates and inmates to discuss best practices in the field of volunteering. In addition, the Deputy Director General of the National Administration of Penitentiaries, Dr. Ioana Morar, will be involved in dynamic discussions to highlight the national perspective on volunteering in the reintegration system at https://blog.pokerkedi.com/poker-oyununda-nasil-kazanilir/.

Moreover, the first day was concluded with a screening of the audio-visual productions of children (pixilation workshop) & short movies on games and video games selected by teenagers (programming workshop). 

In the second day of the training event, the activities took place at Cinéma l’Univers where were presentation of successful cooperation projects were highlighted, between social support structures and cultural establishments with Alefpa, Latitudes contemporaines and the Judicial Protection of Minors (PJJ). Interprofessional success stories with Forum des Sciences, MECS de Mérignies, CMP Lomme have been brought to our attention. The inter-professional roundtable were essential to gain expert`s perspective on how to use culture as an educative tool to include vulnerable children in the society. At the end of the day, we had a debate with producer Oliver Pagani, after the screening of the movie ‘Romani street view’. 

The last day of the training event, has been also hosted by Cinéma l’Univers.

EFCC project on the “development of a European Framework of Competences for Community Professionals working in Gang Environments” approved for funding.

The project EFCC project promoted by “Fundação O Século” involving partners from Portugal, Romania, Lithuania and Italy on the development of a “European Framework of Competences for Community Professionals working in Gang Environments approved for funding” by the ERASMUS+ funding agency.

EFCCP is planning to identify the professionals supporting communities affected by gangs, identify their common characteristics in terms of competencies and develop a “navigation tool” presenting major areas of competencies, specialized competencies, proficiency levels connected to EQF and examples of knowledge / behavior / skills. This navigation tool will help all professionals understand what is needed to address gangs.

EFCCP objectives are:

• to produce current and appropriate occupation / work profiles for those working with gangs and the impact of gang crime in communities across Europe, a profile relevant within each European partner country and against which new learning outcomes can be identified.
• to identify in each partner country key sectors, organizations and job roles working within gang crime and with the impact of gang crime (police, probation, youth work, health, social services, education, communities).
• to identify through desk and DACUM consultative research in each partner country the knowledge, skills and competences required to develop capacity and ensure improved and more successful engagements with gangs and gang members operating in order to reduce gang crime in the future.
• to develop the European Framework of Competencies under the form of an interactive on-line tool capturing: major areas of competencies, specific competencies for each area, proficiency levels related to EQF and examples of knowledge/skills/attitudes. This will be the fundamental tool to give a common language between professionals, employers, VET providers and communities, in a context where even the definition of the problem is challenging: what is a gang for you and your community?

The partnership is composed by:

• Fundação “O Século”, Portugal (promotor)
• IPS_Innovative Prison Systems (Qualify Just IT solutions and Consulting), Portugal
• CPIP Centrul Pentru Promovarea Invatarii Permanente (Center for Promoting Lifelong Learning), Romania
