❓❓How can structured support systems, such as peer mentoring, help us build stronger competencies, protect prison staff’s well-being, and raise the quality of correctional education and rehabilitation?

This was the central theme at our Multiplier Event in Odense, co-hosted with Syddansk Universitet – University of Southern Denmark and the Danish Prison Officers Union.

An interesting fact is that Denmark already has a 3-year mentoring programme for prison staff. The developed M4Pris project materials are complementary, and they support the theoretical part of meeting needs that go beyond the existing scheme.

At the event:
➡️ Students were introduced to the M4Pris project, its core outputs (mentoring blueprint and peer mentoring programme), and its impact in Denmark and across the EU, with insights from the Danish Prison Officers Union and the project coordinator, BrainLog.
➡️ Case studies based in real correctional settings challenged the students to think about how mentoring might work in practice.
➡️ We held open conversations about adapting, applying, and evolving the M4Pris tools in different institutional or national contexts.
