Duration of each session of the project | The project

Methodology
Previous Sessions- Phase I |
The sessions include two previous occasions:
a) presentation and awareness for organizations benefiting
from the project and
b) encouragement of training sessions with teachers /
monitors-ers and young beneficiaries.
Day in Prison- Phase II |
The day takes place in prison on three occasions:
1. I am deprived of liberty!
Young people are involved in a simulated experience in the
prison environment, which allows them to feel what it means
to be deprived of freedom. Know a little of all facets of
prison life, in view of a prisoner.
This will be managed by technical staff and the prison
guard
2. I understand the importance of having control over my
life.
In conversation with selected prisoners, young people are
aware of the attitudes and behavior that means not having
control over the construction of their lives and are
invited to take consider the consequences of this omission.
The prisoners, are asked to tell participants their
personal experiences, in particular how they were involved
in court proceedings and a conviction and awareness of
effects on the victims (s) crime (s). It also seeks to
share what it means to be deprived of freedom - that
emotions, which ... loss - the feeling of regret,
responsibility for repairs and that change in their lives
if they could go back, especially the strategies to prevent
crime.
3. I declare my future. I lived and what they think about
the future I want for my life.
Driven by technical session. The discussion is oriented
towards the experience for young people during the day,
inviting them to reflect on their personal view (how they
want their life to be in the future). Starts to work with
developing a design-performance on the way each couple see
their future in terms ideals.
The discussion in the classroom can reflect on the
strategies to achieve this vision and the values to be
elected. Ends with a document written by the couple headed
declare my future.
The aim is to pass the idea that the future also be built
and that we are the only ones responsible for how we
conduct our life (we know that there are many adverse
factors that make the path of some very difficult that the
path of others, but to retain the fundamental idea is that
only do what we do, since the law does not prohibit, and we
can always choose other alternatives for a safe and
responsible way).
Subsequent Sessions- phase III |
Subsequent sessions are dynamized by the organizations
involved and have the following objectives:
- Ensure that the experience is perceived as an educational
and constructive.
- Reinforce the importance of choices: think of the
consequences of alternative actions and make a position to
conduct proactive
- Reflect on the adoption of lifestyles and actions
consistent with the vision of the future made in Phase II.
- Raise the interest the issue of living conditions in
prisons and rehabilitation of prisoners.
