Alternative Perspectives on Education of Youngsters in Prison

Conference – Symposium - Forum

23 January 2020 | Dresden, Germany

"Authentic Inquiry" is a method for learning, which starts mainly by the interest of any learner. In this project the method is used to work with young persons in critical life-situations. Participants of the event will experience the method in one day.

Education is one of the most important aspects in the development of modern societies. As the High Scope Perry Preschool Project study shows, education helps significant to reduce crime and violence. The European Project Re-engaging young offenders with education and learning is working on new educational perspectives by using the “Authentic Inquiry” as learning method in closed security context. This learning method starts by the interest of the learner and develops a learning-journey, which hopefully might lead to a positive personal idea of future.

Authentic Inquiry is an intervention designed to build personally relevant knowledge which is useful in education. The personally relevant topic is identified by the learner, enabling greater opportunity for connection with the learning process. This is done by taking the learners’ interest through their own narratives and stories (personal) and navigating this towards the production of an ‘artefact’ such as a piece of art, poster or other product that has some external educational value (public). By this, a connection between the personal and the public is developed.

On this conference we will explore, how to use the special learning method “Authentic Inquiry” as a method of learning inforced context and difficult life situations.

Though the project aims to support educators in closed security settings, the method will be helpful also for all educators and social workers, dealing with young persons in difficult life situations.

There is NO possibility to pay for your travel or accommodation unfortunately in this case.
