Lisbon, September 2024

The workshop featured an eclectic mix of presentations, covering topics like therapeutic engagement for marginalized groups, communication gaps in police interviews with child suspects, communication needs in youth justice services, inclusive education, and multilingualism in youth within the justice system.

Missed it? No worries—all presentations are available on our website under ‘Training Schools’ > ‘Activities’ (again, presentations were recorded and organised by Juan Salmeron and Ana Bosnic).

What is COST?

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
