TalentbrueckeWhat this is about
Sport4Prisons is a project co-funded by the European Union through Erasmus+ (ERASMUS-SPORT-2024), with TALENTBRÜCKE as one of the partners. Six partners from four countries – Germany, Hungary, Portugal and Türkiye – are jointly developing a sports-based method to assess and enhance the competencies of people in custody.
The background: there is solid scientific evidence that sport and education work in prison settings. In practice, however, there is a shortage of methods that specifically foster competence building – and make it visible and comparable.
This course gives you a structured overview of the project and of the completed Work Package 2.
Who this course is for
Anyone joining from the outside: interns, new colleagues, working students and people from the partner network. You need no prior knowledge – neither of prison systems nor of EU project work.
