Dear Sir

During the preparatory process for the I International Conference on Prison Education, which will be held by UNESCO at the first half of 2009, civil society organizations from different countries were called upon to raise and systematize information about the subject.

The Brazilian organizations Ação Educativa, United Nations Latin American Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (ILANUD, Brazilian Section), Paulo Freire Institute, Alfabetização Solidária and Acesso à Justiça Institute have been highlighted by UNESCO to coordinate the process of lifting information about the education of women imprisoned, popular education, literacy and education for citizenship in the prison environment.

To facilitating the process of sharing information we built the Term of Reference which is attached to this message. It should be used as a possible road map, without the requirement for a complete answer.


We also ask for the distribution of this material to other organizations and government representatives which could contribute to the building of a global framework on education delivered in prisons, especially disseminating successful experiences.

The information must be sent until August 20th to educacaonaprisao@acaoeducativa.org

We appreciate your cooperation and looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

EPEA becomes a member of the EAEA
In my last report to the Board, I mentioned that the European Prison Education Association (EPEA) was applying for membership of the European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA). At the General Assembly of the EAEA in the University of Latvia, the EPEA was officially elected a member of the EAEA. The EAEA is the largest umbrella organization in Europe advocating life-long learning with 130 member organizations in 41 countries. The EAEA has prison education as a theme and actively co-operates with the various institutions to strengthen the role and position of life-long learning at European level. For further details, see www.eaea.org.

European Union Commission adopts Action Plan on Adult Learning
The European Commission has adopted a Communication in support of the Action Plan on Adult Learning calling on the Member States to work together and support the EU's Action Plan. This plan aims to remove the barriers that prevent adults from engaging in learning activities and to improve the quality of the adult learning sector. A part of the plan is to speed up the process of @#$%& and recognizing non-formal and informal learning.

ACEA Conference
In October 2007, CEA Executive Director, Dr. Stephen Steurer and Chairperson of the EPEA, Dr. Anne Costelloe were keynote speakers at the Australasian Corrections Education Association Conference (ACEA), Connecting Offenders: Education, Training and Employment.
