We invite you to join the Confederation of European Probation (CEP) and the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) for an insightful webinar on “Governance, Oversight, and Accountability Mechanisms in Probation and Parole: A Europe–USA Comparison.” Taking place on Thursday, 18 September at 3:00 PM Central European Time (CET) / 8:00 AM Texas Time, this event will bring together experts to share perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic.

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.
