Education in prison: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

22 Jan 2025

The Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights organized with great success an event titled “Education in prison: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”, a topic that is of great concern to Greek society, especially in the era of the rise of juvenile violence.

The event took place on Wednesday 22 January 2025 at 17.00 at the “Georgios Anastasopoulos” hall of ESIEA, where we had the opportunity to discuss with distinguished speakers who shared with us their long experience and knowledge about the educational process in Greek prisons.

For those who were not able to attend the event in person, the video of the event is available below:
