In addition to leading the EFRJ, our Board is busy with its own professional and personal projects. In the past months, some of our Board members received an award or won a grant to continue their activities in the RJ field:
> Patrizia Patrizi received an award from the Italian association of psychologists for the social impact of the RJ City project in Tempio Pausania, Sardinia. > Katerina Soulou obtained a scholarship for a research project on RJ in France and Brazil, where she will move for 4 months at the end of October. > Brunilda Pali has been awarded a post-doc research position at KU Leuven on the role of RJ in the penal systems and policies in Europe. Other Board members are instead busy with delivering presentations and training across Europe and beyond: check the EFRJ calendar to follow their moves! |
