Home » Projects » Educational drop out » RENYO – Re-engaging young offenders with education and learning

Objectives

  • Enhance educators’ capability to re-engage young offenders with education and learning whilst in secure custodial settings.
  • Establish a network of partners in the EU who share this aim.
  • Train education staff in secure settings to engage young offenders with education through the use of “authentic inquiry” as an intervention to enrich educators’ repertoires in learning design.
  • Develop improved practice around a digital learning infrastructure so changes are more likely to sustain beyond the lifespan of the project.
  • Write a research paper sharing the outcomes and learning to support dissemination and sustainability.

Results

  • Re-engaging young offenders with education and learning, evidenced through the young person engaging in a learning course at the secure unit or a defined education plan on exit from the secure unit.
  • Change in attitude towards learning and the self – assessed through the Learning Power Self-assessment tool as well as qualitative data collected from observation, interviews and other learning output.
  • Either 1 or 2 trainers per country from partners.
  • Up to 40 prison educators upskilled (depending on partners).
  • Up to 100 young offenders (in pilot).
