Description
With the project it is intended to exemplarily develop educational concepts and structural approaches dedicated to the support of manifold formal, non formal and informal competence development processes of adult prisoners working inside the prison system.
At the European level, best practices overriding time, space and organisational limitations between the occupation of prisoners and the development of both key competencies and general educational qualifications of imprisoned persons will be identified.
Moreover, it is aimed
- to compare existing approaches,
- to exemplararily develop new educational models,
- to pilot these models in selected European prisons and
- to reach beyond the lifetime of the project by transferring these models into the European penitentiary system.
The project focus is on a transnational link-up of innovation efforts dedicated to adult education in the European prison system. Innovative models will be developed, such as flexibly applicable learning modules and self-directed learning within the working process. In order to guarantee sustainability, particular attention will be given to accompanying human resources and organisational development processes. In addition, an adaptation of existing systems of educational planning shall be reached, which enables an optimal inter-linkage between adult education provisions and the specific needs of the target group. The gathered results will be integrated into the individual planning processes focusing on the social reintegration of prisoners.
