CAT/OP/POL/CSPRO/1 of EU directives; protection of crime victims under the Polish criminal law, procedural rights of crime victims arising from the Code of Criminal Procedure and code-related statutory acts (including the Act of 7 July 2005 on the State’s Compensation for the Victims of Selected Prohibited Acts – consolidated text, Journal of Laws of 2016, item 325); the scope of rights enjoyed by crime victims in cross-border relations – presentation of Directive 2011/99/EU on the European protection order (OJ L 338/2). (i) Ethical and psychological aspects of public prosecutors’ work: 1 edition, 60 participants, 16 hours. Reasons for covering the topic: The proposed event is a continuation of workshops on the psychological aspects of public prosecutors’ work carried out in the last years. In 2019, the training offer was extended with a module focused on ethics and emphasis was put on the effective communication between the public prosecutor and the widely understood social environment. The training workshops will aim to improve psychological and social skills, such as interpersonal communication, managing work stress, workplace bullying and professional burnout, as well as self-presentation and building a positive image of the institution represented. Specific topics, such as: public prosecutor’s ethics, exemplary behaviour within the service and outside the service; social competences of a public prosecutor, managing emotions in professional relations; communication between a public prosecutor and the social environment; exemplary communication; aspects of private life related to the work of a public prosecutor; prevention of professional burnout. (j) International cooperation in criminal proceedings – workshops for public prosecutors specialising in international legal cooperation: 2 editions, 70 people each, 16 hours, Reasons for covering the topic: The complexity of the topic and practical difficulties related to the application of various instruments on international legal assistance, including the European Investigation Order introduced by the Act of 10 January 2018 amending the Code of Criminal Proceedings (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 201) justifies the necessity to discuss this topic, taking into account practical aspects of applying specific legal instruments. The training workshops are targeted at public prosecutors specialising in international legal cooperation. Their special significance arises from the scope of professional duties and the fact that they provide substantive assistance to other public prosecutors. For this reason, they need highly specialised knowledge and the training session is a response to their needs. Specific topics, such as: jurisdiction of Polish courts, liability for crimes committed abroad – practical aspects; European Investigation Order (EIO); submitting the decisions on freezing property or evidence for the purposes of their execution; European Arrest Warrant (EAW); European protection order as a consistent mechanism of protecting and supporting victims; international cooperation in criminal cases implemented through Police authorities (Interpol, Europol). (k) Cultural diversity of the participants of criminal proceedings – a challenge for public prosecutors and judges in the course of criminal proceedings: 2 editions, 60 people each, 16 hours. Reasons for covering the topic: In the course of criminal proceedings, judges and public prosecutors increasingly often encounter parties or witnesses representing diverse cultural backgrounds. Due to the differences in perceiving the world, communication and narrating events by people rooted in different cultures, it is important to acquaint judges and public prosecutors with knowledge from the field of culture studies, communication studies and cultural anthropology. This will allow them to conduct interviews, interrogations and hearings properly, while respecting the dignity of such people, and to assess the evidentiary value of given statements properly. Specific topics, such as: intercultural communication – sources of barriers in intercultural communication, language and cultural taboo, non-verbal communication barriers, clothing and appearance – cultural differences; communication studies and cultural anthropology on otherness, linguistic picture of the world and its impact on perceiving ‘Us’ and ‘Them’; linguistic aggression and depreciation/malicious discrimination in communication; linguistic and communicative stereotypes, description vs. characteristics, communication automated behaviours.
