Training on Leadership Competencies in Correctional Settings

The LEADCOR Training Course (Training on Leadership Competencies in Correctional Settings), is an e-Learning course created within the LEADCOR ​project.
​The project consortium designed this initiative to instruct prison and probation staff trainers with management positions or aspiring to have a management position on lowering stress levels by enhancing inherent Leadership skills. As such, this course offers participants the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills in the area of Leadership, specifically: stress and burnout, leadership conceptual background, leadership competencies and leadership development plan.

By acquiring and developing these leadership and management competencies, prison professionals will be better equipped to:
  • Manage and reduce stress levels;
  • Mitigate tension between prison colleagues;
  • Increase their preparedness to work in teams and different prison contexts and environments;
  • Increase their awareness of the importance of leadership and negative impacts of occupational stress in the prisons’ daily life;
  • Promote the well-being and mental health of prison staff;
  • Improve the quality of work with inmates and, ultimately, enhance opportunities for rehabilitation.

LEADCOR Leadership Boardgame

The LEADCOR Leadership Boardgame aims to support prison staff leadership skills with the purpose of reducing workplace stress levels amongst this target group.
​
The game design was thought to be like any other classical boardgame: intuitive, fun and easy to play! In addition to the game enjoyment, the LEADCOR boardgame takes a step further: it has an underlying pedagogical approach. Players are challenged to be the first to reach the last square of the boardgame, but to be the winner, they must reflect and respond to situations in the playing cards related to leadership competencies.
