Flashback: 15th Annual Conference |
|
|
|
This year, the 15th EPTA Annual Conference took place on 27-29 June 2022 in Barcelona, at the Centre for Legal Studies and Specialised Training (CEJFE) focusing on ‘The need to evaluate training: a work in progress…’, with 70 participants from 23 countries. The dynamic program fostered communication and cooperation between training academies, as there was a plenary, workshop, and prison visit. There was also enough time to network in between the activities, such as at the evening reception, kindly hosted by the Justice Department of Catalonia (view photo). We are very grateful to CEJFE for all their efforts in hosting this conference!
