<< Objectives >>The project will develop an Interpersonal Communication Skills (ICS) training for work-related communication challenges for pre-release offenders while activating and/or developing common civic values as a basis to support social reintegration. The project will use blended teaching methodologies such as face-to-face and experiential training modalities alongside a Virtual Reality (VR) platform used as a training ground for skills’ practice.<< Implementation >>The project will use scientific methods to identify work-related communication challenges and ICS relevant to pre-release detainees, guiding the development of a high quality and flexible training curriculum, inclusive of a custom-made VR platform with specific training scenarios, to be delivered in prison settings. Consortium partners and prison staff will also be trained enhancing their ICS skills, common values and ensuring successful course implementation in penitentiary settings.<< Results >>The project will increase pre-release detainees' workplace communication skills, provide a valuing system to support prosocial reintegration and increase social self-efficacy. Participants are expected to increase their chances of obtaining and retaining employment post-release, while improving their wellbeing and reinforcing crime desistance. Project dissemination will familiarise communities with the interpersonal challenges faced by former detainees and provide avenues towards employment.
