Dear readers,
Welcome to the third PROVICTIMS Newsletter!
Before explaining you what this issue of the Newsletter is about, the project team wants to take a moment to wish that you're staying home, safe and healthy. For anyone who has been affected by the coronavirus, we sincerely hope you are receiving the support you need and you are on the path to recovery.
In this difficult period, when the Coronavirus outbreak demands us to take extraordinary measures and adjust the way we work, the PROVICTIMS team is still working to implement the project so that the rights of victims and the need for cooperation between competent authorities and victim support services are not forgotten.
In this Newsletter, we will share with you the work that has been developed since our last issue came out in September 2019. By reading this Newsletter you'll know in more detail what activities were implemented and what the partnership is currently doing in order to better understand the role of the Public Prosecution Services in the promotion of victims' rights and to promote the cooperation between Public Prosecutors and victim support services.
In November 2019, the partnership attended a technical visit and a workshop in Dublin hosted by the Irish Council of Civil Liberties (ICCL). The technical visit to the Criminal Court of Justice of Dublin was an excellent opportunity to learn and understand how the Irish legal system works and to see in first-hand how court sessions unfold. The workshop, on the other hand, constituted an occasion for sharing of experiences between the audience and the notable speakers.
Finally, on this issue of the PROVICTIMS Newsletter you will also read about the next activities of the project.
After reading it, you will hear from us on the next issue.
Until then, we hope you enjoy your readings and stay safe.
Sincerely,
The PROVICTIMS Team

The visit was organised by the Irish Council of Civil Liberties (ICCL) and it provided several opportunities for exhange of knowledge and mutual learning.
