The Learning Hub, SPS (PID192)

2.30pm – 3pm EDT, 4 September 2024 ‐ 30 mins

Workshop Session

The Learning Hub initiative is a ground-up endeavour that embraces the concept of inmates as part of the value chain aimed at advancing desistance.

The Learning Hub’s motto is “For Inmates by Inmates”. Through this initiative, suitable inmates are identified and trained to lead and conduct learning courses, rehabilitative programmes, peer support groups, out-of-class activities, and mentorship sessions for fellow inmates. The programmes keep inmates meaningfully engaged. At the same time, it provides opportunities for them to develop themselves by learning new skills and knowledge. This multifaceted approach aims to engage minds, enrich lives, and foster emotional growth within the Correctional Unit.
