EuroPris and CEP jointly organised the second expert meeting on staff training on 23 June 2014 in the premises of CEP in Utrecht. Training experts from 5 European Prison and Probation Services, Avans University Netherlands and the directors of CEP and EuroPris participated in the event. The meeting focused on the evaluation of the staff training workshop that took place in December 2013, where topics such as Burn out/Resilience, Motivation, E-learning, Selection of Staff and Quality Measuring were discussed. Based on this evaluation the experts decided to organise the next CEP/EuroPris staff training workshop in 2015 on the topic of e-learning – why to develop, how to develop, what to develop and who should be involved.

On 10 & 11 December 2013 the workshop Education and Training for Values Driven Work – Future Concepts took place in Amersfoort,the Netherlands with 30 participants from 14 countries. In small working groups the participants discussed and exchanged experiences on the following topics: burn out / resilience; selection / training; e-learning; quality assurance; and motivation.

The discussions in the working groups provided that all participants had the opportunity to share their own current practices with their colleagues. The experts were inspired by hearing practical solutions from other countries. It was suggested to explore some issues more in-depth at future meetings.
