Description
PAC, or “Prisoners’ Active Citizenship” is a 2-year project which is funded by the European Commission. The goal of this project is to test various active citizenship participation models in different European prisons and to develop a toolkit based on these experiences. Although the concept active citizenship is not used explicitly, this theme moves higher up European political agendas. However, many European countries lack expertise in setting up such projects and do not know how and where to begin.Three different aspects will be explained during this training seminar. First, it will be clarified what is meant with the concept “active citizenship” in prison and what is already known from previous research. For instance, the pyramid of citizen participation will be explained. Second, a few inspiring practices that are developed in the framework of the PAC-project will be presented. A third part consists of the results of the scientific evaluation of those practices, and lastly, the development and idea behind the toolkit about prisoners’ active citizenship will be explained. This toolkit will provide handles for practitioners to set up active citizenship activities in their own prisons. There will also be time for group discussions about this theme.
