Learning in Prison

Learning opportunities available to detainees in prison today raise major questions about the quality of training provision available within the prison system and the very real interest that exists in rebuilding life paths. At the heart of this Project lies a commitment to exploring, those good practices that have already produced excellent procedural and final results in Europe.The assessment of learning opportunities deemed by each of the partners as having achieved the greatest success, will prove useful both in terms of planning new interventions and in terms of an overarching exchange of information between partner countries, against a more general framework of formulating quality shared learning path planning models for detainees. In furtherance of the main objective of the Project, a series of seminars will therefore be organised concomitantly. Each partner will present and examine a selection of good practices that have been developed in their national prisons, with a view to extrapolating the methodological criteria used, resources employed and professional skills deployed, the capacity of the prison world for active involvement, the role played by the territory, the results including empowerment processes and prospects for social re-integration.As well as providing a vehicle for the exchange of information, the seminars will enable the different partners to compare the best learning models as applied to complex and difficult realities such as the prison world, with a view to drawing up the relevant guidelines. Each partner will have an opportunity to present learning experiences built up in one or more different training spheres geared to different groups of detainees according to gender, generation, provenance or crime committed.
