Re: Invitation to the 6th International Training School on Core Correctional Skills
Dear CEP Member,
On behalf of CEP, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 6th edition of the International
Training School on Core Correctional Skills (ITSCCS), which will take place from 28 September to 2
October 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, at the Centre for Legal Studies and Specialized Training (CEJFE).
This intensive one-week programme is designed for probation and correctional professionals seeking
to strengthen or refresh their practical skills in effective supervision and rehabilitation. Based on
Prof. Dr. Ioan Durnescu’s Core Correctional Skills framework, the training focuses on essential
competencies including relationship-building, pro-social modelling, motivational interviewing,
problem-solving, and cognitive restructuring.
The 2026 special theme, “Clicks and Empathy: Core Correctional Skills in Digital Probation” will
explore how these skills can be effectively adapted to digitally mediated supervision environments.
Participants will engage with practical challenges such as building trust online, managing remote
communication, maintaining professional boundaries, and sustaining meaningful working alliances in
digital contexts. The programme combines modern adult-learning methodologies, including role-
play, coaching, practical exercises, and peer exchange, ensuring direct applicability to daily
professional practice.
This training offers an outstanding opportunity to learn from international experts, exchange
practices with colleagues from across Europe and beyond, and contribute to the ongoing
professionalisation of probation services.
CEP members benefit from preferential registration rates, with a reduced early bird fee of €450 and a
regular member fee of €550.
