Enhancing lifeskills for better lifestyle : a personal and social education programme for young ex-prison mates

Abstract

The main goal of this dissertation is the development of a programme of around 10 lessons for young ex offenders. The lessons will be developed after researching local and foreign programmes and after interviewing young ex offenders. The dissertation will be divided into three steps. The first stage will be a revision of the programmes that are aimed to such marginalized groups and also the study about teaching skills, and young offenders' characteristics. The second stage will be a set of interviews to ex-prison mates to identify the personal and social needs. The third stage will be the production of a programme that can be used formally or informally at CCF or other young ex offenders support groups.
