Project „Cross-Border Youth Safety and Inclusion: Modernizing Training Facilities and Developing a Comprehensive Good Practices Guide” (CBYSI - ROBG00251), is co-funded by the European Union through European Regional Development Fund under the Interreg VI-A Romania-Bulgaria Programme

Between April 20 and 22, 2026, the third workshop under the project Cross-Border Youth Safety and Inclusion: Modernizing Training Facilities and Developing a Comprehensive Best Practices Guide (Contract No. 183382/18.08.2025; Project ID: ROBG00251; Acronym: CBYSI) was held in Craiova. The project is aimed at enhancing youth safety and social inclusion through the modernization of training facilities and the development of a comprehensive Good Practices Guide.

The event brought together five representatives from the D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics, as well as five experts from the lead partner, the Dolj County Police Inspectorate, and five representatives from the associated partner, the Dolj County School Inspectorate.

The workshop was officially opened with a presentation of its main objectives and expected outcomes, followed by a review of the conclusions drawn from the first two workshops. These findings served as a foundation for subsequent discussions related to the development of the Good Practices Guide and the Joint Training Program.
During the first day, participants addressed the key challenges related to youth safety and behavior, while also conducting an in-depth analysis of the risks identified in previous workshops. Particular attention was given to defining the concept of “good practices” in the field of youth safety, as well as to establishing criteria for their identification, validation, and adaptation across various settings, including educational, community, and cross-border environments.

The second day focused on structuring the Good Practices Guide. Through intensive discussions, project partners defined its main thematic areas, chapters, and sections. A structured debate was held to validate the conceptual framework, alongside the development of practical components, including case studies, concrete examples, and applicable recommendations. Special emphasis was placed on ensuring coherence between the Guide and the curriculum of the Joint Training Program.

On the final day, participants reached a consensus regarding the structure and content of the two key project outputs – the Good Practices Guide and the Joint Training Program. Discussions also addressed the optimization of upcoming project activities, including the final editing and integration of the developed materials, as well as the preparation of the concluding workshop.
The third workshop in Craiova significantly contributed to the overall progress of the project by establishing a solid foundation for the finalization of its main intellectual outputs and their future implementation in support of youth safety and social inclusion in a cross-border environment.
