TRAINING
The project provides for the organisation of training activities for judges, prosecutors, lawyers and probation officers, aiming at discussing issues related to the use and implementation of non-custodial sentences and at raising awareness of specific rights and needs of people in vulnerable situations or belonging to minorities.
The training took place at the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra, on 4 to 6 May 2022 (Programme).
