CORFU. A collaboration between the Corfu Prison Second Chance School and the Corfu Second Chance School is being considered for the first time, in order to promote the jewellery in the market.
The Corfu Prison Second Chance School and the Corfu Second Chance School for Adults are attempting for the first time to collaborate, in order to send a positive message to the society about the second chance opportunities promoted through these structures.
The collaboration concerns the creation of jewellery by adult inmate students from Corfu Prison Second Chance School and the possibility that they get promoted on the market by the adult students of the Corfu Second Chance School, as part of the action plans implemented by these schools.
Action plans
The Director of the Corfu Prison Second Chance School Kyriakos Kolesis presented recently to the Corfu Second Chance School’s students the jewellery created by the Corfu Prison Second Chance School's inmate students, as it was an innovative action. The presentation took place on the initiative of Marios Mayioladitis, one of the teachers and coordinators of Corfu Second Chance School’s action plan (the other two coordinators are Dimitris Trapezas and Chrysa Economou), which is about the creation and manufacture of jewellery.
“This is the first time that we are working with the Corfu Prison Second Chance School and we are discussing the implementation of a joint project, as part of the action plan we are already implementing. The aim is for our students to get to know how the jewellery industry works. Professionals have already visited Corfu's Second Chance School, in order for the students to be introduced to entrepreneurship,” Mr. Mayioladitis told Enimerosi.
It is worth noting that the jewellery, apart from the 3D printer, is also made by hand.
Positive response
As Mr. Mayioladitis said, the students both of the Corfu Second Chance School and those of the prison were particularly positive about the possibility of collaboration between the two Second Chance Schools, through which they can better understand the process of second chance.
“The inmate students from Corfu Prison Second Chance School find any effort made to show their work to the outside world very positive,” explained Mr. Mayioladitis, who was a teacher at the prison’s School for three years. However, the possibilities offered by 3D printing used by the prison’s School as an educational tool are not limited to the creation of jewellery. The inmates, using the 3D printer, created face masks at the beginning of the pandemic, which they donated to the Corfu General Hospital, the facilities for unaccompanied children and the National Foundation for the Deaf.
