In line with Prof. Dr. Ioan Durnescu’s Core Correctional Skills, the training emphasizes key skills such as relationship skills, pro-social modelling, problem-solving, motivational interviewing, and cognitive restructuring. Prof. Dr. Durnescu’s work underscores the importance of these competencies in fostering effective correctional practices, ensuring that staff are equipped with both foundational and cutting-edge techniques.
A significant aspect of this training is the development of the working alliance, a concept extensively covered in Prof. Dr. Durnescu’s book. This includes clarifying roles, addressing power imbalances, and maintaining alliances in a digital age. These elements are critical in building trust and cooperation between correctional staff and those under supervision, mirroring the principles highlighted by Prof. Dr. Durnescu.
Building up the working alliance is a crucial aspect of the training, and we will cover everything from clarifying roles and socializing into the role to dealing with power imbalances and maintaining and developing working alliances in a digital world. We are strong believers in modern learning approaches, and our use of flip learning and other adult learning concepts will enhance not only your understanding of these skills but also their use in real-life situations. Role-play and coaching will stay at the heart of our learning approach.
This year’s training will focus on Desistance and Lived Experience, with more information coming soon. We are thrilled to have Prof. Dr. Ioan Durnescu leading the program. Ioan and our distinguished speakers can’t wait to welcome you in October 2024 and help you bring your skills into the 21st century with evidence-based and meaningful practices.
