Description:

This project focused on the accreditation of prior (experiential) learning for offenders. The partners worked together to (1) examine the constraints and disincentives to the development of accreditation of prior (experiential) learning in the prison environment (2) to reflect on educational and training practices in Europe (3) to develop means of support, assistance and advice adapted to the prison context and (4) to involve prison personnel in the process of accreditation of prior (experiential) learning by offenders. A report on social reintegration and the accreditation of prior learning has been prepared in English and French. A survey has also been carried out on the same subjects, which could be used to support action research at European level.

Outputs: A report on social reintegration and the accreditation of prior learning (in English and French)
