Round Tables for presenting the Bulgarian-German platform for innovative policies and decisions in the social inclusion of offenders first took place in Kardzhali, then in Plovdiv, Asenovgrad and Panagyurishte. These events are part of the project “Bulgarian-German platform for innovative policies and decisions in the social inclusion of offenders”, which has been implemented by Association “Training and Service Centre”, the German organization xit GmbH and Crime Prevention Fund –IGA.

More than 80 people, representatives of the administrations of the three municipalities, directors and experts of institutions, non-governmental organizations, and the media took part in the events.
