Presentations & recording of the CEP webinar “The Restoration of Normality: a year with Covid-19”

On 20th April CEP, together with the Czech Probation and Mediation Service, organized a webinar on “The Restoration of Normality”,  focusing on the effect of Covid-19 on the work of probation, and looking at the normality of the future.

Three presentations were given, one from a director’s point of view (by Mrs. Andrea Matouskova, Czech Republic), one on the new training programme ‘Stop the road traffic offences‘  (by Mrs. Ramona Balaita and Mr. Marian Badea, Romania) and one on the transition from prison to probation during Covid-19 (by Mrs. Danijela Mrhar Prelic, Slovenia). Each presentation was followed by a session for questions and answers.

The presentations can be downloaded via the links below and the recording of the webinar can be found on the CEP YouTube channel.
