Georgian Innovation: Digital University Among Top Three Innovative European Projects in Penitentiary Institutions

The Digital University has been recognized as one of the top three innovative projects by the European Organization of Prison and Penitentiary Systems (Europris). Out of 37 projects submitted by European countries, the Digital University stood out in the annual Europris award.

This prestigious recognition was announced at the 13th annual meeting of Europris, held on June 26 in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The event was attended by Georgian officials, including Deputy Minister of Justice Beka Dzamashvili, Head of Special Penitentiary Service Nika Tshvarashvili, and Deputy Director of the Training Center of Justice Vakhtang Asanidze, along with representatives from penitentiary institutions of Europris member countries.

The success of the Digital University highlights the significant progress in Georgia's penitentiary system. Previously plagued by systemic human rights violations until 2012, the system is now regarded as exemplary across Europe by international institutions.

Launched in 2022, the Digital University project in Georgian penitentiary institutions provides convicts with access to education. It enables them to participate remotely in university courses, attend online lectures, and engage in direct, interactive communication with lecturers.

At the Europris meeting, plans for the annual conference of the European Association of Training Centers of the Penitentiary System (EPTA) were also discussed. This event is scheduled for September 11-13, 2024, and will be hosted in Tbilisi, under the chairmanship of the Georgian Training Center of Justice.
