Abstract
The NORTH SOUTH TOGETHER toolkit shares learning from two university-prison education classrooms in Cork and Belfast, where prison based and university based students learn and study side-by-side in the prison education classroom. The University College Cork/Cork Prison and the Queen’s University Belfast/Hydebank Wood Secure College were the first types of university-prison partnership classrooms on the island of Ireland, both enabling university based outside students to study alongside prison-based incarcerated students for an on-going, semester-long, module. This toolkit has been designed for a range of audiences who might find it useful when setting up or further developing their own prison-university classrooms and programmes, including: higher education teaching staff, prison education staff, prison and university administrators and imprisoned student collectives/think tanks on the island of Ireland North and South.
