On 18 December, representatives of the High School of Public Governance and the National Training Centre for Preventing and Combating Gender-Based Violence took part in the First All-Ukrainian Forum of Probation Volunteers ‘AGENTS OF CHANGE: THE POWER OF THOSE WHO CARE’.

The event was organised to mark the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Probation’.

The purpose of the event was to draw attention to the role of probation volunteers in ensuring the safety of individual communities and society as a whole by providing assistance to convicted persons, as well as to discuss the current challenges of probation-related volunteering.

The event included a discussion panel on ‘New Challenges of Volunteer Probation’, which was attended by national and international experts, public figures and representatives of NGOs. They discussed the history of the development of the volunteer network in probation and the main tasks of probation volunteers.

Volunteering in probation plays an important role in the process of reintegrating offenders into society by helping them find jobs, acquire new skills and restore social ties.
