FUTURE PROJECT RESULTS
From 05. to 14. September 2022, the lyk-z method of FROG leadership and life-mastery training was successfully held in Reykjavík – Iceland!
The aim of this training was for partners already working with inmates and ex-inmates to acquire knowledge on the FROG leadership and life-mastery training, with the aim to implement trainings to empower and to equip prisoners and ex-offenders with forward-looking and life-enhancing skills in each partner country.
Further on, the FROG leadership and life-mastery aims that inmates and ex-inmates receiving FROG training and peer-support will become peer supporters and perhaps also FROG coaches in the future further enhancing the FREEDOM network. The training was – not least thanks to the generous and warm hospitality of Quasar, the lead organization – very fruitful and gave the opportunity for partners to meet face to face, thereby increasing the level of communication within the partnership throughout the project.
