About Mobi

Objectives and Expected Results

MOBi project design was based on some desired goals:

1) Understand the European contemporary punishment and reintegration picture in terms of society's’ perception, participation, offenders labelling, return to work or to community, building a quick assessment tool to measure society “culture” towards punishment and reintegration;

2) To create new, innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to respond to (ex)offenders’ reintegration process;

3) To develop a community engagement methodology to support Criminal Justice System (CJS) organisations and practitioners, and closest stakeholders’ efforts on reinforcing existent community (society) based approaches;

4) To design one transnational training programme, to be executed by key-organisations, aiming civil society in order to ensure that all citizens have access to knowledge on Criminal Justice System rehabilitation model and re-thinking on their individual role in the reintegration process;

5) To deliver a Handbook, to support different enterprises/organisations from Public, Private and Third Sector developing their social responsibility and participation on CJS and offenders’ reintegration.

After the MOBi implementation, partners expect to achieve:

An overview of the Europeans sense of punishment and idea about the Criminal Justice System and a wide perspective of the Europe solidarity between its citizens and solidarity across borders;
A stronger community, where Europe citizens are putting their values on action to enhance (ex)offenders’ reintegration process;
More prison workers/trainers with developed key-competences to transmit how Prison Services works, who are the clients, what are their needs, etc.
A civil society more informed about prison services operation, different offender populations and strategies to actively participate on offenders’ social reintegration, with special focus on employment issues;
To increase (ex) offenders sense of achievement, satisfaction or mastery in employment settings in order to impact on the criminal desistance process;
To create the awareness of the need of multi-agency working for addressing the complex needs of offenders and reducing reoffending.
