  3. Work Package One:Project Management Package Leader: Superact! 10/2010- 09/2012 To ensure the effective management of the project, including: 1) clear understanding of all project milestones, goals and objectives; 2) tracking of partners progress against milestones and objectives; 3) ensuring effective report by partners, including claims for funding, submission of progress reports and disbursement of payments to partners; 4) reporting to the European Commission; 5) appointment and management of the evaluators and translators, ensuring effective communication across the partnership; 6) oversight of quality management processes and valorisation; 7) risk assessment and management, including conflict resolution if required.

  4. Work Package One: Tasks • Formation of a project steering group • Ensure strategic development • Monitoring and support of all work package leaders

  5. Work Package 2

  6. Work Package Two:Preparation: Production of reports showing the national and institutional in each partner country. Package Leader: PELE, Associação Social e Cultural 10/2010-01/2011 The aim of this work-package is to: a) establish the context for each PEETA pilot; b) to identify any risks and anticipate any issues or difficulties that may arise in the delivery of the pilots in different member states; c) to establish a baseline relating to institutional structures, arrangements and culture within partner prisons; d) to establish a baseline against which the external evaluator may be able to identify change and establish 'success'.

  7. Work Package Two: Tasks • Each partner will review and report on the context in which they will deliver their pilot • Partner reports will be written to a common broad template to allow for synthesis • Desk research and literature reviews • Telephone interviews

  8. Work Package 3

  9. Work Package Three: Quality Assurance Package Leader: University of Exeter 04/2011-01/2012 Quality assurance is key focus for the project, which must take into account different practices, different cultural contexts and levels of experience across the partnership. The aim of this work-package is therefore to ensure: • 1) all partners have a full understanding of the PEETA approach, learning objectives and assessment criteria; • 2) the quality of delivery within the pilots and the quality of the learning experience for offender participants; • 3) that all partners are able to apply the PEETA constructs effectively and make robust assessments that are consistent across the partnership and which meet with the standards set by Edexcel and the European Qualifications Framework; • 4) That all partners learn from each others’ experience. Responsibility for leading quality assurance is shared. Superact! will focus on the artistic dimensions and ensuring that pilots are structured and delivered in ways that accommodate the effective delivery of the award. Marchmont / University of Exeter will focus on assessment and feedback, ensuring that the criteria are applied to consistent standards.

  10. Work Package Three: Tasks • Quality assurance delivered through training, observation, feedback and mentoring. • Review of partner context reports • Adaptation of UK training methods to suit all partner institutions • Quality assessment visits to partners involved in the delivery of pilots and provision of feedback to those institutions.

  11. Work Package 4

  12. Work Package Four: Delivery of the Pilots Package Leader: Superact! 04/2011-01/2012 • The first series will take place in prisons in Italy and the Netherlands • The second series in Austria, Portugal and Turkey. The aim is to see whether or not PEETA is appropriate in each partner's country's prisons, and to see in which ways assessment and feedback works especially where this is not necessarily part of the culture. We shall all learn from each pilot because we all aim to share the challenges and successes we discovered..

  13. Work Package Four: Tasks • Pilots will operate within the same broad frameworks • They will be 8 weeks long, focus on the creation of an artistic performance or exhibition, and will involve initial goal setting and assessment and celebration of the employability achievements as set out in the PEETA framework • The focus of the Arts activities delivered in pilots will vary across the partnership– ranging from music, print / design and drama, as we wish to assess how PEETA is applied to a range of different artistic mediums. • We anticipate 2 trainers / artists working with groups of 12 to 15 trainees in each prison, with support from prison staff. • Each partner will analyse the effectiveness of their pilot and reasons for this. This will be of value in its own right and will also act as data for the evaluator and for analysis / inclusion in an academic paper and final project report for wider dissemination.

  14. Work Package 5

  15. Work Package Five: Evaluation Package Leader: External Evaluator 10/2010-09/2012 To encourage reflection at all levels of the partnership; To record the experience of delivering the pilots; To assess the effectiveness of PEETA in different European Contexts and settings; To identify changes needed to the Training Pack or any other support required support the take up of PEETA in Europe following the project; To capture and report on the experience of delivering PEETA in EU prisons, through both the evaluation report & academic papers, deriving lessons on the potential of the approaches taken within the qualification, to inform the development of employability education more widely at EU level.

  16. Work Package Five: Tasks • Self-evaluation will be an integral part of the project delivery process. All partners will record their experience delivering the training within their pilot, their reflections of the experience, and the beneficiaries' reflections of the experience. • The External Evaluator will observe training delivery and assessment processes, review participants learning objectives and reflective journals produced as part of the self assessment and check outputs. He will attend partnership training sessions and partner meetings, though he will also conduct telephone interviews with partners individually, outside partnership meetings. He will interview prison staff and, where appropriate, may also interview offender participants. He will review project records relating to attendance, recruitment, involvement of prison staff.

  18. Work Package Six: Valorisation Project Leader: DienstJustitieleInrichtingen/ program MGW 10/2010-09/2012 The overall aim of valorisation is to secure the uptake of the PEETA award beyond the project lifetime, within partner providers, partner prisons and more widely widely within partner countries and the EU as a whole. The valorisation process therefore incorporates dissemination and mainstreaming at the European level and also with each partner's appropriate Ministry of Justice. The reason for this is that we want to bring an awareness of the use of the Arts to develop employability skills to each country's Ministries is to exploit the potential that we feel the Arts offers as a tool for the engagement, rehabilitation and development of offenders' employability skills in our partners' countries. We want to inform the EU Commission of our findings, in order to facilitate the uptake of PEETA, as a European Award, at the wider level. In order to maximise the effectiveness of the impact of our project, we aim for valorisation to take place from the beginning of the project. We will develop tools to support valorisation - the web site, reports in partners languages etc - and from the beginning of the project will network with wider communities of arts practitioners; assessors; awarding bodies and policy makers - engaging them in the story we have to tell, asking for their feedback, and adapting our outputs to ensure that they too have the material they need to take forwards our work.

  19. Work Package Six: Tasks • Valorisation will take place throughout the project. Valorisation at national level will take place through each countries national and/or regional ministries • From the beginning the project web site will be established with associated embedded communication tools. • We will hold an international conference to which our Stakeholders will be invited, and will write reports for dissemination and submit at least one academic paper. • Partners will also use the press at local and national, to secure their interest in the project's story (noting limitations on reporting of activities within prisons).
