Last training event of the project PROTECT

The last transnational training event of the project PROTECT took place between 14 and 17 March 2023, at the Facultat de Geografia i Història, Universitat de Barcelona. APAV was present at the event, represented by Ana Castro Sousa, Frederico Marques, Natália Cardoso, Rita Bessa, Rosa Saavedra and Teresa Bettencourt.

Over the last year and a half, the project PROTECT partnership has invested in the development of training contents and of a peer learning system which aims to enhance and improve the skills of victim support and restorative justice professionals in promoting and protecting the rights of victims of crime, in the light of the provisions and requirements arising from the Victims' Directive.

APAV and the partners of the project PROTECT - Associazione Spondé Organizzazione non lucrativa di Attività Sociale (Italy), European Forum for Restorative Justice (Belgium), Forum pour une Justice Restauratrice et pour la Mediation (Belgium), Universitat de Barcelona (Spain), Victim Support Europe (Belgium) and Waage Hannover (Germany) - had the possibility to develop and actively share knowledge, common training methodologies, foster professional skills, debate fracturing issues and establish the way for possible synergies between the two areas of action.
