Confederation of European Probation (CEP) and American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) are pleased to invite you to an insightful webinar that will introduce the theme “Governance oversight and accountability mechanisms in Probation and Parole. Compare and contrast Europe and USA”. This event is taking place on Thursday, 18 September, starting at 3pm Central European Time (CET), 8am Texas Time.
Join us as CEP’s Iuliana Carbunaru and APPA’s Chris Cirrito explore the theme from two distinct perspectives—European and American—providing valuable insights into the governance, oversight, and accountability mechanisms shaping probation and parole practices on both sides of the Atlantic.
The first webinar marks the beginning of a new chapter in our transatlantic partnership. Under the Biennial Action Plan, CEP and APPA will co-host a series of webinars and podcasts designed to foster meaningful exchange between U.S. states and European jurisdictions. The goal is to share best practices, spark innovation, and strengthen community corrections on both sides of the Atlantic.
Let’s come together to explore emerging trends, build international connections, and strengthen probation systems worldwide.
Seats are limited—register now to reserve your spot! Please note: unfortunately, this webinar does not offer credits for continuing education purposes.
