Developing a sports-based method to improve reintegration skills
Although there is a valid, scientifically confirmed demand for sports and educational tools to support rehabilitation in prisons, there is a significant lack of effective methods to foster the development of individuals’ competencies and skills.
The Sport4Prisons project aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an innovative sports based method to assess and enhance the competencies of people in custody, while also training prison staff and trainees to apply the method effectively to support rehabilitation efforts.
