In this international panel presentation about the Peace Education Program, we will explore how this empowering workshop series can improve the quality of life of incarcerated people, their families, correctional staff and prison officials across international and cultural borders. The pandemic has exacerbated mental distress among incarcerated individuals, making this wellbeing and personal development program more important than ever. Despite challenges that forced many other correctional activities to pause, this presentation will demonstrate how participation in the Peace Education Program grew throughout the world due to the innovative efforts of volunteers and correctional staff who have witnessed the power of these workshops to change lives.
