As part of its ongoing cooperation and support for the Yellow Ribbon project, CEP is pleased to invite nominations to support two participants wishing to join the Yellow Ribbon Run, taking place on Thursday, 11 June 2026, in Prague, Czech Republic. 

Through its Bursary Scheme, CEP will provide financial support to two colleagues from across its membership. The bursary will cover travel and accommodation costs related to attending the Yellow Ribbon Run, up to a maximum of EUR 500 per participant. 

Nominations will be assessed based on the following criteria: 

  • The candidate’s role is connected to the values of desistance, reintegration, and second chances. 
  • Clear motivation to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Run and engage with its message, including potential interest in organising a Yellow Ribbon Run in the candidate’s country. 
  • Willingness to join the CEP running team (four persons in total, participating as a relay). 
  • Ability and intention to share experiences and insights from the event within the candidate’s organisation, network, or country (e.g. short report, presentation, or communication activity). 
  • Availability to participate in the event on 11 June 2026 in Prague. 

If you are interested, we kindly invite you to submit a Bursary Application via the CEP website. The CEP office may contact applicants with additional questions, where relevant.
