On 26-27 May, first online training for trainers on HELP methodology was held for the faculty of higher education and training institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation.
This training was made possible due to the ongoing implementation of the project “HELP in the Russian Federation (III phase)” by the Council of Europe.
During the training, the Project team and their colleagues from other Council of Europe projects introduced the participants to the HELP Programme, methodology of its implementation at the national level as well as technical aspects of working on the HELP platform.
In addition, two substantive sessions on the standards of Article 3 of the ECHR on "Prohibition of ill-treatment treatment" and general standards of the ECtHR related to the activities of the penitentiary institutions of the Russian Federation were presented by the Council of Europe experts.
