Engaging marginalised groups in the education process

Re-engaging young offenders with education and learning (RENYO)

Young people in conflict with the law are often described as disengaged with education and learning. This EU funded project working with partners in Italy, Spain and Germany, seeks to understand the nature of disengagement in these young people and explores the use of authentic inquiry as a way to re-engage them with learning whilst incarcerated.

Active Games for Change (AG4C)

The potential of active games has been shown to be a means to develop social, ethical and moral competencies. ActiveGames4Change is an EU funded project with partners in 7 countries in Europe and aims to design active games to support young people in conflict with the law (in custody and community supervision) in acquiring and using key competencies that facilitate inclusion, education and employability.
