Attended by more than 30 participants from across Europe and world, it aimed to introduce its mission centered on social responsibility, support for reintegration, and cooperation with organizations that helped people with a criminal past return to everyday life. The project highlighted why the initiative came to life and the values it represented, building on the core principles of destigmatising ex‑offenders, their families, and their children, grounded in restorative justice.
The next edition of the Yellow Ribbon Run will take place on 11 June 2026 in Prague. This years theme is “Giving a second chance to children and young people who did mistake.”
