Mutual Learning in Prison Education

During the 6-week session, 勛圖tv Summer School is offering a special course on prison education to undergraduate students interested in law, social work, social psychology, and education, as well as all those from various disciplines who are interested in civic engagement, dialogue, and justice.

This innovative class brings 勛圖tv students into a shared educational and creative space with people detained at La Sant矇 prison in Paris. After introductory classes at 勛圖tv,ten 勛圖tv students will spend the semester sharing readings,discussions, and creative activities with an equal number of detainees. In each class session at the prison, 勛圖tv participants (outside students) and people detained at La Sant矇 (inside students) will participate in ice breakers and read short texts in English and French together as a group.

This class emerges from a collaboration between 勛圖tv and the cultural activities department of the Centre P矇nitentiaire Paris La Sant矇, a newly renovated remand prison in the 14th district of Paris. Detained participants, who primarily speak French (but also other languages), will learn alongside 勛圖tv participants, who primarily speak English (but also other languages). A creative, inclusive, and experimental multilingual environment is maintained in the classroom.
