The PEBBLE project aims at the improvement of prison education in Europe by making ICT available to learners in correctional education. Prison education remains one of the most pressing issues in Europe. Bearing in mind that the reintegration of prisoners into society after release depends to a great extent on the education they have received during their sentence and the skills they have acquired, the basic aim of the PEBBLE project is to improve the education provided in the correctional institutions across Europe by increasing the pedagogical use of ICT in learning and by providing more opportunities for the acquisition of basic skills The main target of the project is to contribute to a significant change in the level of provision of high quality education especially on fields and subjects which are considered to be important for the personal development and the rehabilitation of inmates. The PEBBLE project will provide training suitable to the needs of the individual prisoners by implementing the ICT- based education, as a means of distance education, which is of particular importance to inmates. E- learning content will be created and developed in order to improve their key abilities and basic skills in the following thematic areas:• Literacy skills• Numeracy skills • Basic ICT skills• Financial skillsAfter the localization of the content to the specificities of each participating country, where linguistic and cross-cultural issues will be addressed, training courses will be delivered in the participating correctional institutions in Greece, Italy, Cyprus and Romania. The blending of web- based content with basic skills learning will render their education both more flexible and more individually oriented. The impact envisaged involves the prisoners who will improve their self esteem and create positive expectations after their sentence and the penitentiary system as a whole since it will make prisons a positive learning environment.
