Program
The CEP’s Iuliana Carbunaru and APPA’s Chris Cirrito explored the theme from two distinct perspectives—European and American—providing valuable insights into the governance, oversight, and accountability mechanisms shaping probation and parole practices on both sides of the Atlantic.
The first webinar marked the beginning of a new chapter in our transatlantic partnership. Under the Biennial Action Plan, CEP and APPA would co-host a series of webinars and podcasts designed to foster meaningful exchange between U.S. states and European jurisdictions. The goal is to share best practices, spark innovation, and strengthen community corrections on both sides of the Atlantic.
