WORKPRIS aims to strengthen the links between third sector organisations and prison institutions. The project aims to achieve this through innovative training and education programmes that respect human rights and are adapted to labour market conditions.
Through flexible training models and the creation of an international network of experts and trainers, WORKPRIS aims to build sustainable support for organisations, which in turn will lead to the promotion of social (re)integration and the development of a safer and more inclusive society.
The main objectives of the project are:
Innovative forms of vocational training:

To develop and implement new and innovative forms of vocational and professional training. These are programmes adapted to the needs of OTS working in the prison sector.

International cooperation:

Implemented as part of the Erasmus+ program Key Action 2: Partnership for Cooperation
VOLONTÉ CZECH, o.p.s. together with its partner Gramigna OdV are implementing a project focused on the issue of supporting families of convicts and appropriate methods of working with them. In cooperation with the partner, the project focuses on the evaluation of the methods used to work with this target group and the creation of a comprehensive methodology for working with this particular target group - prisoners serving prison sentences (VTOS) and their families, which could be used by both social workers, educators in prisons and workers of NGOs supporting families of prisoners through work with families of convicts, accompaniment and support that has a direct impact on the welfare of the target group. At the same time, we want to raise public awareness about the impact and problems of families of convicts related to their stigmatization in society.
