3D Jail Project - IO1 - Competence framework for 3D printing in jail

Intellectual Output 1 The main innovative element of IO1 is to entail professionalizing competencies on the use of 3D printing technologies in the learning context of people with fewer opportunities because of their status of prisoners, ex-prisoners or subjected to alternative measures to detention. It is innovative because – in a pioneering way in Europe – it puts the basis to frame this kind of competencies in relation with restricted people, in the context of prison security, and it challenges penitentiary administrations to innovate their procedures and conditions to use even more ICT technologies inside their structures. It also poses prisons’ educational systems before the challenge to include these specific competencies in the educational experience of the inmates.

Comparability of qualifications<br />

extent to which it is possible to establish equivalence between the level and content of qualifications<br />

(certificates, diplomas or titles) at sectoral, regional, national or <strong>in</strong>ternational levels.<br />

Comment: comparability of qualifications improves <strong>in</strong>dividuals’ employability and mobility. This term must<br />

not be confused with ‘equivalence of qualifications’ (which refers to the similarity of value of certificates<br />

or diplomas).<br />
