Onderwerp: Victim Support Portugal - Victims & Mediation Seminar

APAV – Portuguese Association for Victim Support - is organising the Victims & Mediation Seminar

This seminar will be held in 14-15 July 2008 in Lisbon, Portugal, and is an important opportunity for researchers and practitioners working in the area of mediation, victim support and justice.

Organized under the Project Victims & Mediation, co-financed by the European Commission, this seminar aims to attain a more exact notion of the current standing and treatment information of victims in victim-offender mediation projects and programmes in Europe.

In recent years, victim-offender mediation has earned a greater attention by those whose mission is to provide support to victims of crime and whose assessment on this issue may be briefly expressed in following idea: mediation is a practice which may entail potential positive outcomes for victims of crime in recovering or minimising the effects of victimisation, if certain factors are adequately taken into account.

Therefore, given the importance of victim-offender mediation and considering your significant role in this field, we would like to ask you to disseminate this event among your contacts, or through your website and/or newsletter.

Please find in attach an information pack, which includes a brochure with the programme, registration form, additional information about the seminar and two banners (if you whish to use one on your website).
