AXIES

Grantee: AXEPT
Partner: LabSTEM Robotics
Call: Enhancing awareness & understanding of EU rights and values
Project Duration: 12 months
Budget: 57.836,71€
Country: Greece
Location: Lamia, Rethymnon
The project “AXIES” (Values) is centered around social justice education, aiming to promote the social and moral values inherent in European Union democratic society. These values, including Dignity, Equality, Freedom, and Respect, will be instilled in a specific demographic: adult students of the Second Chance School at Domokos Prison.
The primary challenge faced by the project is introducing these students to social and moral values they may have violated, leading to their imprisonment and societal exclusion due to delinquent behavior. The project’s goal is to impart a deep understanding of these values, enabling the students to internalize and utilize them effectively. This, in turn, prepares them to develop essential social skills, ensuring their successful reintegration into Greek society and, on a broader scale, European society, upon their release.
Target Groups:
a) Students of the Second Chance School at Domokos Prison
b) Their educators, prison workers
c) The State and the relevant Ministries of Justice and Education, and Religious Affairs and Sports

Activities: 

  • Development of a report on EU values and prison education.
  • Field research at the Second Chance School (SCS) of Domokos Prison using digital gamification methods on civic education with the participation of 40 incarcerated individuals.
  • International dissemination of research findings through presentation of the paper “Teaching EU Values in the Unprivileged Prison Population”, with finding from the project research, at the conference ICON-HUMA 2024 organised by the University of Alicante.
  • Development of a hybrid learning modules (18 hours), on European values which targeted 40 incarcerated individuals, students of the Second Chance School (SCS) of Domokos Prison.
