The European Judicial Training Network coordinates almost 1000 events every year, training around 7000 judges, prosecutors and court staff across Europe. While most of the EJTN activities were organised face to face in the past, the covid 19 crisis imposed a radical change to keep the network alive, switching all the activities online and accelerating its digital transition. Today, the EJTN members have developed a useful experience and knowledge in that field. They are able to share best practices. The main challenge for the EJTN will be thus to make this sharing happening, to support the members in digitalisation and to train with and on digitalisation properly. The virtual classrooms experience will illustrate that objective.

With the support of Programme “Justice” under the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014 – 2021 over the period of two years (2020 - 2022) the National Institute of Justice set up and adequately equipped shared learning spaces in 13 Bulgarian courts and prosecutor’s offices for the purposes of providing face-to-face, e-learning and blended training.

The shared learning spaces for the development of knowledge, skills and competencies are perceived as a key instrument for the implementation of the NIJ training vision, which integrates learning into work and facilitates and enhances the trainees’ commitment in the learning process.

The shared learning spaces built up at the decentralized level will further evolve as the NIJ training hubs in courts and prosecutor’s offices in which skills and competences will be strengthened through practical workshops, group discussions and other professional practice exchange sessions. Each shared learning space is provided with a remote access 24/7 to the NIJ E-learning platform which enables justice practitioners to be trained digitally and to work with wide range of online tools and self-learning resources.

The positive effects of digitalised training courses: the Belgian experience. The covid pandemic has accelerated digitalisation worldwide, so too within the judiciary. Where webinars, e-learnings and other forms of e-courses only represented a fraction of the training offer a few years ago, the trend has now largely reversed. This workshop will be focusing on the approach of the Belgian Judicial Training Institute in this matter and how it has evolved and is experienced to this day
