The speakers will refer to the SEMELI programme and talk about the outcomes of training prisoners in ICT skills and media literacy skills.

The audience can gain valuable insight into the implementation and evaluation of a project that 'addresses the digital and media exclusion of young individuals, who are socially and geographically marginalised (namely young detainees).'


This online event will be particularly useful for researchers, policy makers, teachers, students interested education and criminology.

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.
