The first quarter of 2026 brought several important opportunities for the PROMOTE project to connect with European stakeholders, share its work in professional forums, and contribute to discussions on learning, inclusion and innovation in correctional and justice-related contexts.
During the first months of 2026, the PROMOTE project was represented in a series of professional events and exchanges that helped strengthen its European visibility and reinforce dialogue with experts, institutions and stakeholders.
One important moment came on 24 February 2026, when the project was introduced during the 4th Micro-Credentials Masterclass in Amsterdam. This event offered a valuable space to connect PROMOTE’s work with broader European discussions on skills recognition, flexible learning pathways and innovation in vocational education and training.
PROMOTE also featured in institutional and policy-oriented contexts. On 2 March 2026, the project was referenced during the annual review event of Penitenciarul Timișoara, creating an opportunity to engage with stakeholders from the correctional and justice field and to present the wider relevance of the project’s work.
A day later, on 3 March 2026, PROMOTE was part of the broader professional environment surrounding the European Employment and Social Rights Forum 2026 in Brussels. Participation in this context helped place the project within ongoing European conversations about empowerment, inclusion, and social change.
In addition, on 17 March 2026, the project was briefly introduced during the global online workshop “The Future is Human”, where participants explored more human-centred perspectives on justice systems and professional practice. This provided another meaningful opportunity to situate PROMOTE within wider international conversations on dignity, support and systemic innovation.
Taken together, these activities show how PROMOTE continues not only to develop project results internally, but also to position its work within relevant European and international discussions. By connecting with diverse audiences and participating in professional exchange, the project strengthens its contribution to more inclusive, collaborative and future-oriented correctional practices.
