Prison life and creative arts: What can they offer to enhance education?

This webinar welcomes experts from the Prison Radio Association (PRA) who will discuss ongoing work in and out or prisons and why they do what they do. We will also hear from experts who now work with PRA and have lived experience of what it’s like in prison and the role of the arts in their life.

At the event we will also hear from a prison educator with extensive working experience in prisons, and the added value of creative arts education in transforming Scottish prisons.

'Blue-Sky Thinking' Seminar Series on Education and Criminal Justice

This seminar is the fourth in this series.

The series aims to re-establish the Centre for Education and Criminal Justice as the knowledge exchange hub for practitioners, policymakers and researchers to collaborate on collecting, improving, and disseminating the best and most promising evidence and practice in the field and internationally. It gives researchers and practitioners a space to discuss the 'blue-sky thinking' in education and criminal justice that is much needed in the current system.
