Our most important goal during our work was to educate beneficiaries - prisoners. Through a series of workshops, we believe that we have achieved the goal of increasing literacy skills and competences among the project participants/beneficiaries. In addition to educating inmates in literacy skills, we also aimed to provide them with skills that may be useful in everyday life after being released (namely, soft skills). Our intention was to equip participants with the tools necessary to cope better in society and increase their chances for successful reintegration. Another important goal was to build participants' self-esteem and responsibility. We believe that by engaging them in constructive educational activities, we have contributed to the growth of their self-esteem and motivation to change. Our workshops were designed so that participants could experience success and positive reinforcement, which is crucial in the rehabilitation process. It is also important that at the final stage of the project, the workshops were a means to create tangible effects in the form of city games. In total, we prepared 9 games in partnership - according to the plan, each partner played three games.
The main needs that we met through our project activities actually resulted from two sources. Firstly, the institutions involved are active in the field of education of adults deprived of their liberty, so participation in the project allowed for the implementation of statutory activities. Secondly, and more importantly, all project activities were aimed at prisoners who have very limited opportunities to participate in non-formal educational activities. The decision to apply for this project was dictated by a deep understanding and recognition of the above-mentioned needs. Participation in the project was therefore fully consistent with our long-term goals and organizational mission. We believe that the implementation of this project will enable us to expand our influence and strengthen our position as an institution organizing educational activities for adults deprived of their liberty. Finally, this project was an excellent opportunity for us to develop, innovate and implement new solutions that are not present on a daily basis in our institutions. It is not without significance that the project offered the opportunity to build and strengthen partnerships with other organizations operating in the common field of education.
