Learning Through Art The PEETA project and its value and possibilities for reintegration of prisoners in society

Abstract

This thesis discusses the possibilities of the SEPE certificate for helping inmates reintegrate in society upon release. This certificate can be achieved through participating in an arts project and shows the employee skills of the participant. This certificate could be useful for reintegration, but will not be a simple solution for recidivism, due to emotional instability and social factors that might play a role in the prisoners life. The Dutch PEETA project Rob in da Hood is taken as a case study for this thesis.
