The press conference for the 11th annual event was once again held at the Hilton Prague Atrium Hotel
"Juvenile delinquency can be prevented by increasing pressure on families as soon as a child starts exhibiting problematic behavior, for instance, at school," said Gabriela Slováková, director of the Probation and Mediation Service (PMS), at yesterday's press conference.
And it is precisely this year's edition will be dedicated to children and young people.. If you haven't registered yet, it's high time. We'll meet at the start in two weeks.
We thank all partners for yesterday's meeting and Hotel Hiltron Prague Atrium for the excellent service.

The 11th edition is held under the patronage of the President, the Ministry of Justice, and the City of Prague.
We greatly appreciate the trust we have received from the City of Prague, led by Councillor Antonín Klecanda, MBA, and also from the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic, led by Dr. Jeroným Tejc. The event was also endorsed by Czech President Petr Pavel.
In his letter, the Minister of Justice praised the project for its long-standing efforts to break down prejudices, change society's perception of former convicts, and offer people with a criminal past and their families a second chance at a decent life. He also highlighted the project's contribution to crime prevention and reducing recidivism.
Thank you.
