The "University in Prison" project
"The capable and deserving, even if they lack means, have the right to reach the highest levels of study"
Article 34(3) of the Constitution guarantees the right to university education for all, including those without financial means. Similarly, the Penitentiary Regulations facilitate the completion of university studies for prisoners.
Since December 2003, the University of Padova has been collaborating to offer university education in prisons.
Study opportunities range from humanities to sciences with different university courses, promoting social inclusion and providing tools for reintegration into the workforce
The Prison Project organizes numerous opportunities for learning and personal growth to promote dialogue and continuous training
The Student Services Office has organized a section of University tutors entirely dedicated to the coordination of academic activities and the support of administrative practices
