PROMOTE aims to set up an integrated continuous professional training mechanism for practitioners delivering activities inside of the criminal correctional justice systems (public and private employees, belonging or not to the justice system). The initiative focuses on enhancing the learner experience, and on updating their competencies to maximise their societal impact through the successful integration of incarcerated persons into society.
The project aims to facilitate the exchange of expertise and experiences among practitioners, encouraging participatory research and community-led solutions. The goal is to empower practitioners to become active participants in their own professional development and problem-solving processes. Through this approach, we aim to bridge the gaps between different employment settings and education levels, ensuring that all practitioners have access to the relevant and practical skills needed to effectively support the reintegration of convicted individuals.
