Teaching in Prison- Pedagogies of Hope in Global Best Practices

Presenter: Sergio Grossi Abstract: Teaching in prison can be a transformative way to realize justice. This session explores global best practices in prison education, focusing on examples such as the APAC model in Brazil, the University of Buenos Aires prison program, and the therapeutic model of Grendon Prison in the UK. These initiatives demonstrate how education can move from reinforcing oppression to fostering hope, creating inclusive and rehabilitative spaces that reduce recidivism and promote reintegration. Drawing from interdisciplinary research and lived experiences, the presentation highlights how trust-building, collaborative practices, and innovative educational approaches can reshape prison environments into communities of learning and growth. Participants will examine how these practices can be adapted to their own contexts, from curriculum design to mentorship programs. By bridging theory and practice, this session provides actionable strategies for educators and administrators to contribute to systemic change while fostering hope and opportunity for incarcerated individuals.
