Development of Support Materials (WP 4)

This work package is coordinated by the European Prison Education Association – Malta Branch.

ACTIVITIES

4.1 Develop new support materials for adult learning professionals in English based on the competences profile of adult learning professionals in correctional criminal justice system, under the format of adaptable modules, suitable for both online environment and frontal training. The new support materials will be available on the web-based Induction Support Assistant and also will be available under the format of Grundtvig Training Course.

The course will be listed during the lifetime of the project and implemented as an exploitation measure in the first year after project implementation. The support materials will be developed in English and translated in partnership languages once integrated into the web-tool. The course will be delivered in English.

4.2 Exploit already developed modular support materials from pervious projects and trainings, integrating them into the induction support web-environment, connected to the competence profile of adult learning professionals in correctional criminal justice system. This will     become a virtual library. At the EisAlp partnership level we already have between us over five     already developed materials from previous projects that will find their place in the virtual library. We will also add all publicly available materials from other EU cooperation at the time.

4.3 Validate the support materials in participating partner countries, where necessary translating the materials into their own language. This validation will take place on one-to-one activities with the stakeholders. We will also have a validation moment with the stakeholders with the occasion of the seminar held under WP 3.

4.4 Supervise progress through the website and adapt the tool where necessary. Results to be reported to EPEA and analysed.
