As you may remember, Victim Support Europe organised a projects workshop to discuss upcoming projects on February 17, 2023. During the workshop, different European Commission calls for proposals were presented, and each call was discussed among participants exploring different ideas linked to the open calls. This workshop was the first action of a set of activities that will follow, organised by VSE, to explore collaboration between members in relation to projects. VSE is very pleased as this first workshop generated very good results, gathering important information regarding projects, and allowing for very interesting discussions. Please find attached the report summarising the discussions from the session. In the follow-up to the workshop, and in preparation for future talks and upcoming calls, we want to encourage you all (those present and those who were not able to attend) to fill up the following questionnaire: https://vse-form.typeform.com/to/h6DsaU9a.

During the workshop, eight different European Commission calls for proposals were presented, and each call was discussed among participants to assess their interest in participating in the proposed projects. Actions covered by calls ranged from a training project on soft skills for professionals in contact with victims of crime to projects aimed at promoting and supporting the rights of victims of crime, as well as strategic litigation. The participants discussed their level of interest, their proposed roles in the projects, and their capabilities to provide relevant contributions. This workshop was the first action of a set of activities that will follow, organised by VSE, to ensure collaboration between partners in relation to projects. It was proposed that the Hub be populated with pertinent information and documents moving forward to be used for future discussions. Participants: APAV CRCA/ECPAT Croatian Victim and Witness Support Services HRDC Klaipeda KSPSC Lithuania Libra ETS Law and Internet Foundation Ministry of Justice Croatia Service for Victim and Witness Support Rete Dafne SPAVO Skalbes V-Europe Victim Support Agency Malta V ictim S upport E urope Discussion : JUST-2023-JTRA: Action grants to support transnational projects on judicial training covering civil law, criminal law or fundamental rights APAV raised concerns about the first call on judicial training, urging VSE to look in detail into the eligibility as in their view this might be a project that will be given to public institutions over an NGO. APAV showed interest in being a part of it however, and encouraged VSE to directly ask the Commission before moving forward. Our focus on soft skills was viewed as an advantage. Victim Support Croatia also expressed interest in this call. Expertise : Among the participants V-Europe was the only to say they were not interested in as it does not align with their expertise. The other organisations were asked the type of expertise they would bring to this call. APAV explained they have experience with previous applications, connections on prosecution at a national level, and expertise in soft skills training. Victim Support Croatia has expertise in training and organizational support, including judicial capacity strengthening, risk assessment, victim protection, financial compensation, and support for persons with disabilities. Rete Dafne has good contacts within the National Department Anticrime of the Police in Italy. HRDC Albania has experience monitoring the justice system and training service providers on laws against violence. KSPSC in Lithuania provides interdisciplinary training to officers and prosecutors on supporting victims of human trafficking. Some organizations also mentioned good connections with judicial academies in their respective countries, and some focus on the development and delivery of training methodologies and tools. Activities : In terms of activities, Victim Support Croatia was comfortable with all proposed activities, and Rete Dafne is interested in training for new Dafne network operators and train-the-trainer programs. KSPPC expressed interest in carrying out study visits and training. Practical trainings and workshops on victim-sensitive communication, individual risk assessment, and other topics were also mentioned by some organizations. KSPSC in Lithuania was interested in coordinating projects, developing training methodology and tools, delivering train-the-trainer programs, organizing cross-border exchanges and events, and dissemination. Overall, the organizations were open to a variety of activities, including training, seminars, workshops, and e-learning resources. Stakeholders : The organizations expressed how they could involve a variety of stakeholders in this call. Victim support organizations, prosecution authorities, and national centres of judiciary were mentioned as potential stakeholders. Victim Support Croatia suggested involving the Ministry of Justice, Women's Room Croatia, Police Academy, and Social Welfare organizations. Rete Dafne suggested involving police at national and regional levels. Some organizations mention ed involving judicial training organizations and authorities at the national level, including the Judicial Academy and judiciary, prosecutors, lawyers, and law enforcement agencies. The Police Academy also mentioned as a potential stakeholder. Overall, a range of stakeholders, including public and private organizations, CSOs, local authorities, NGOs, and law enforcement agencies, could be involved in this call. JUST-2023-JCOO: Action grants to promote judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters APAV suggested VSE enters as a partner rather than leading it. The majority of organizations present were interested in participating in this call, with only V-Europe indicating that they are not interested. Expertise : Members would bring a range of expertise to the call, including methodology development, training organization, capacity building, research, national network cooperation, and judicial training programming. Activities : To address the priorities of their organizations, APAV and V ictim S upport C roatia were open to all types of activities proposed in the call, and V ictim S upport C roatia prefer red involvement in the development of IT solutions for data collection. KSPSC expressed interest in carrying out activities to improve the effectiveness of national justice, such as providing informational tools, trainings, and supporting proposal development and delivery of the project CERV-2023-CHAR-LITI-CHARTER: Call to promote civil society organisations’ awareness of capacity building and implementation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights This call was presented as a more complex call , as strategic litigation is something victim support organisations don’t usually do. However, the response to this call was positive, and APAV expressed their strong interest in being a partner in a VSE-led project . HRDC also expressed interest as well as, and VSE suggested the Law and Internet Foundation, Spavo , and Vilias . V-Europe and Victim and Witness Support Croatia stated they were not interested in this call. AMIF-2023-TF2-AG-CALL-06: Transnational actions to support Member States in the field of protection of children in migration – For this call, VSE stated its desire to be partners but to not lead this proposal. CERV-2023-EQUAL: Promote equality and to fight against racism, xenophobia and discrimination For this call, VSE stated once again its desire to contribute but to not lead this proposal . It was explained not all topics need to be covered all at once, there must be a focus on a specific priority. APAV expressed their interest in leading it, to promote equality and to fight against racism, xenophobia and discrimination. Particularly, they want to look at it from a migrant perspective. Victim Support Croatia was interested in addressing Roma issues (which APAV supported), and Victim Support Malta and Klaipeda expressed their interest in participating as well. JUST-2023-JACC-EJUSTICE: Action grants to support transnational projects in the fields of e-Justice, victims' rights and procedural rights V-Europe expressed a strong interest in this call. VSE will be working on developing a proposal a n d creating a consortium, and one of the upcoming workshops will be focused solely on this call. It led to a long reflection on potential topics and barriers. A practical approach to this call, not only policy level, to promote change on the ground, was preferred. VSE’s cooperation with members will be essential for this, as they have that type of expertise. Continuing the work from Benevict was also suggested as an option. Many different issues were identified related to big trials and criminal proceedings , p rocedural rights, and support of victims in these cases. The emotional/psychological aspects of these were also noted as something to prioritise, as well as right to accompaniment and the development of new services (AI, service dogs…). Overall, all partners showed great interest in this call and agreed to have further conversations to explore different ideas. CERV-2023-DAPHNE: Prevent and combat gender-based violence and violence against children: call to intermediaries (giving financial support to third-party civil society organisations) – VSE is highly interested in leading this, and V-Europe expressed their interest in participating. This f irst preliminary discussion allowed participants to explore different ideas, find common grounds for cooperation, and opened up the conversation for collaboration. Further discussion s will be set up to continue this initial conversation and to work on particular topics as the deadlines approach.
