There are approximately 160 craftsmen who participate in these events, produce and present their own art. Care and rest homes are also engaged in these activities during which disabled and retired people can present their products.

By definition, we are part of civil society. We constantly have to make people aware that our surroundings constitute a common good, not a private one. Space is a common good, belonging also to future generations. It remains up to us what our cities will look like. In Europe, we have witnessed the realisation of people’s dreams of having a house with a garden, living in the garden or cities like gardens. We need our gardens for culture and aesthetics reasons as well as a heritage we will leave to future generations. This project will be possible thanks to the passion and selfless devotion of the team of people, joined by a common goal: the need to look after gardens, architecture as well as social space, which surrounds us.

It is a prison institution that aims firstly in the detention of the young prisoners but also in piloting certain actions towards the psychological support of both the prisoners and their families, when possible, as well as the promotion of certain The connection between the activities and adult education educational programmes that enhance their personality and help them undertake all kinds of difficulties coming from their detention. Having these aims under consideration as well as the lack in space commodities and the uneasiness in building up certain training educational programs, our prison decided to create special space to help the establishment of a High school facility inside prison. Our high school started functioning in 2002 and since then 500 students have attended school, completing most of them their secondary grade studies. Our prison also managed to establish a primary school where students could follow up special courses aiming to the understanding of the greek language. Having to organise the two schooling facilities inside the prison is neither easy nor a job of one person only. It needs the collaboration of both the staff and the teachers. Social workers that are responsible for the school need to pass on their knowledge to the teachers helping them get to know the prisoners and the problems they may already face. The prisoner's attitude towards the school and inside the school is most of the times driven by other problems he faces both in the family or everyday life in prison. Furthermore social workers can relieve tension between students and teachers by interfering when needed. Teachers in prison bring in a 'new' knowledge of how prisoners should be treated as students and that knowledge sometimes can be contradicted to the way staff has been used to seeing the potential of the prisoners, if so. Moreover the fact that prisoners ‐students are mostly immigrants and refugees creates a special area of interactions that involves even more contradicted issues and cases of differentiation. Living and working in a multinational environment demands great knowledge of these contradictions and differences as well as the methods to ease them and find common accepted ways of embracing the students and creating study groups of the same interests and objectives. Project information: Preliminary project title (if applicable): Grundtvig Action: Duration: Aims, objectives, general approach: Penitentiaries: Intercultural education against violence. Grundtvig Learning Partnership Grundtvig Senior Volunteering Project Grundtvig Multilateral Project Grundtvig Multilateral Network 2 years 1. To map down the multinational state among prisoners who participate in the program. 2. To critically evaluate the educational practices that have been tried out in multinational prisons until now. 3. deep investigation in the coexistence and violence problems, caused due to the cultural diversity, and their impact on the general functioning of the prison 4. To define and make it possible for pilot programs such as the program of multinational education to function as a mean of dealing with violent practices. 5. To try out pilot programs in prison concerning teaching through multimedia 6. To determine a new kind of multinational educational framework that will allow us to build up the educational methodology based on the parameters of the educational methods used in the countries of origin. 7. To present educational practices that have been designed and used inside the program’s framework in the parameters that have been defined in advance, so that they can be evaluated by all participating organizations. 8. To design a systematic guidebook as a tool for analysis, support and management of the multinational approximation in the teaching methods used and practiced in prison environments as means of solving cases of violent practices. 9. The process of designing the programs as well as their methodology should take under serious consideration the dynamics of the prison itself, since all educational process can be defined both in its aims and its methods on the 10. Setting where it is implemented and the special interaction’s web that this setting produces and reproduces. 11. The people who are designing the programs should take under consideration that the student’s needs should be the key element of the teaching methods, and that all institutions should have a strategy in dealing with these needs. Further more there should be ways of dealing with the economical needs of such planning including suitable educational and teaching material as well as teaching guidebooks for teachers, libraries and multimedia. Summary Taking under consideration the fact that the anthropogeography of prison institutions has changed rapidly over the years and many prisoners are immigrants coming from other countries we come to realize that violent practices can be differentiated and the need for the use of multinational educational practices, grows bigger. Our aim is to prove that there is a need for implementing a different educational method which will focus not only on conveying knowledge but also on featuring the positive aspect of multinationalism, informal education as integration strategy which will help reinforce prisoners’ personality, the idea that multinational education can help solve certain problems, the myth that education should only function as an evaluator for school success. On the contrary a teaching guide should Target‐groups: Activities: offer alternative teaching ways as means of developing personal strategies and abilities so that prisoners can live in a multinational prison, can get to consider the cultural variety as personal wealth, can develop critical attitude towards their own beliefs and get to learn to live and accept people that have different behavioral patterns, recognising in this way the need for untiracist education for all. It is a highly important objective to be able to promote through this program comparative ways of learning as well as a deeper feeling that more cooperation between schools in prison and prison institution themselves can be accomplished, preparing prisoners for successful integration back to society. Adults and young offenders 1. Organizing meetings and visits to the penitentiaries in the home country of each partner involved in the project 2. Presentation of each institution that participates as well as the school staff. 3. Listing and analysis of violent practises inside the prison by the Social Workers and at school by teachers. 4. Presentation of successful ways of dealing with violent and racist attitudes through multinational education, 5. Suggestions and their presentation either in a handbook or a website that can be constantly renewed and enriched. 6. Giving feedback of the results through conferences and seminars. Expected outcomes (results, effects, products, etc) 1. Creation at first of a networking guidebook which will be useful and offer directions and ideas to the working teacher as well as an electronic platform or a website which will host all the produced material, which will be dynamic and easily addressed to by all people who are interested in getting information and teaching advice sending back their feedback in personal experience and suggestions. There somebody could find the theoretical base but also the practical suggestions on teaching. The implementation of pioneer practices will lead to the gradual sentimental discharge and adaptation. 2. - Development of optional activities that will keep the students coming from different countries interested and help them develop closer personal links and relationships with each other ( for example research groups, magazine, website, theatrical expression, radio, music, art, comics, photography, cinema, athletics etc) 3. The creation of working groups among teachers, Social Workers, Psychologists, Sociologies that work inside the prison and prisoners that could produce certain material, as for example a CD containing music and lyrics written by the prisoners, addressed to students attending schools outside the prison, aiming at connecting the prison with society in an attempt to help the prisoner communicate his personal experience to other students of the same age which may share the same problems which lead him to prison.

We monitor the implementation of the reformatory orders, which have been imposed by the Juvenile Court. Finally our Services aim at juvenile needs assessment, counselling and interventions in context of the Court and extra‐ judicially for minors and their families. Due to the fact that the adjudication of cases within the juvenile judicial system is gravely delayed, a remarkable amount of juvenile delinquents are finally judged at adulthood (namely after the age of 17 according to relevant legislation) Given the risks faced by juveniles in detention and its damaging impact on a child's development, Juvenile Courts impose alternative sanctions to imprisonment. Aiming at the promotion of restorative justice approaches, the Juvenile Courts impose victim‐ offender mediation. Victim‐offender mediation takes place prior to or during the trial, with the involvement of juvenile probation officers. The officer cooperates with the minor and his family so that, he/she offers an apology to the victim. This procedure has certain difficulties; victims and their families often have difficulty in dealing with the offender and accepting his/her apology. Moreover the offender may have difficulty in comprehending his/her criminal act and its consequences. Juvenile criminal mediation is often implement with young adults. It is high important, within the scope of addressing youth aggression, for youth offenders to follow a counselling program as a treatment measure imposed by the Juvenile Court. Such a treatment measure is considered appropriate for offenders that have breached the law is respect to sport violence (hooligans). Violence on playing fields is considered one of the main categories of physical assault which may be effectively dealt with in the framework of mediation combined with treatment measures.
