APL in Juvenile Prison Leonardo da Vinci – Transfer of innovation 01-10-2009 / 01-03-2011
Co MiddelweerdtProject manager Aventus APL-Centre • P.P. >> APL in Juvenile prison • “Movie” >> Introduction ”de Sprengen” • Building on the future.
The project Focus on a very specific target group, youngsters in prison that undergo VET. There experience are interrupted or ad hoc vocations in education leading to a shortage of proved competences which makes it difficult to enter either vocational education or the labor market afterwards. Aim to provide them support in making a portfolio of their learning as well as to recognize the learning activities and link them to formal qualifications though APL. This should give them a better change to continue VET or start working after leaving the prison should prevent fallback into criminal behavior. Based on the instrument ROC Aventus and JPC De Sprengen have used during a pilot: a portfolio and APL. The project will upgrade this instruments based on experiences of others and will pilot the upgraded instrument in all participating countries.
This project includes • sharing experiences on VET in prison in an international context; • update the Dutch materials for portfolio and APL for this target group; • adapt the materials for use in the project other countries • pilots with portfolio and APL in the juvenile prisons • evaluate experiences and results • publish portfolio and APL-tools • publish lessons learned
