Bald ist es soweit: Unser Podcast „Inside-Out – der Richtungswechsel-Podcast“ geht an den Start! 🎙️
Warum sollte dich Resozialisierung von inhaftierten Menschen interessieren, wenn du nichts mit dem Justizsystem zu tun hast? 🤔
Weil es uns alle betrifft.
Weil gesellschaftlicher Wandel nur dann möglich ist, wenn wir hinschauen – und nicht weg. 👀
Wir sprechen über Kriminologie 🧠, soziale Wirkung ✊, gesellschaftliche Vorurteile und die Realität hinter Gittern – für Mitarbeiter:innen und inhaftierte Menschen.
Mythbusting statt Stammtischparolen. Perspektivwechsel statt Wegschauen. 🔄
Mit dabei: Jurist Ben als Co-Host – weil er nicht nur fundiertes Wissen mitbringt 📚, sondern auch den Mut, Dinge beim Namen zu nennen. Und weil’s einfach gut passt.
Stay tuned – Folge 1 kommt schon bald. ✨

Kicking off the #resize project in Timișoara
Kicking off the #resize project in Timișoara 🇷🇴
Last week, Richtungswechsel 🇦🇹had the privilege of participating in the first transnational #resize partnership meeting, where all 24 organizations came together to collaborate, strategize, and drive innovation in correctional education and professional development. Over the course of two days, we laid the foundation for the next four years, focusing on enhancing the competencies of current and future correctional professionals under the LiberateSkills Pact – a Lifelong Learning European Pact for Correctional Excellence.
A huge thank you to CPIP 🇷🇴for hosting and organizing this important event! It was incredibly valuable to meet all partners in person, exchange insights, and align our shared vision for the future. We are excited for the journey ahead and look forward to making a real impact together! 🚀✨

Visit at the Penitenciarul Timișoara
🇷🇴 Visit at the Penitenciarul Timișoara 🇷🇴
The Timișoara Penitentiary is the coordinating correctional facility in Romania’s western region. With multiple locations, including external units and farms, it focuses on diverse integration programs.
Thanks to Camelia-Giorgiana Blaga, Eva Corn from Richtungswechsel – AT had the opportunity to visit and learn more:
➡️In the main facility, incarcerated people create their own TV and radio programs and engage in creative activities like painting.
➡️Another facility, a converted hostel, houses up to 50 people who have the chance to work in a nearby factory.
➡️The most inspiring part for me was visiting the farms, where incarcerated people live and take care of their animals and produce their own food, such as honey cheese and meat – an important step towards independence 💪
It was amazing to see how education, work, and creativity pave the way for a better future! ⚡️
Thank you!

VISIT TO THE WOMEN’S PRISON IN ŘEPY – Prague


VISIT TO THE WOMEN’S PRISON IN ŘEPY – Prague🏚️🔑
On the last day of our trip, we visited the remarkable open women’s correctional facility in Řepy, Prague. This facility follows a unique reintegration concept based on trust and responsibility. No bars on the windows, only one correctional officer each shift on duty, and an atmosphere of openness.
Within the same complex is the St. Karel Boromejský nursing home, where at the moment 30 incarcerated women work there together with nurses and doctors. They also have the opportunity to get the diploma as nursing assistants there. The remaining 20 residents are employed outside the facility. Relationship-building is not an exception here but rather an integral part of the security concept – trust between the correctional staff and incarcerated people is tangible and fosters a positive atmosphere of cooperation. 🔑💬
This facility demonstrates that reintegration is possible through real responsibility, social inclusion, and humanity. A remarkable model for a forward-thinking justice system.

Heute ist Weltfrauentag

Wir feiern die Stärke, den Mut und die Entschlossenheit von Frauen weltweit – jene, die sich für ihre Träume einsetzen, Herausforderungen meistern und für sich und andere einstehen. Frauen, die Barrieren durchbrechen, die laut sind, wenn es nötig ist, und die leise kämpfen, wo es oft niemand sieht.
Doch dieser Tag erinnert uns auch daran, dass der Weg zur echten Gleichberechtigung noch nicht zu Ende ist. Es geht nicht nur darum, wie weit wir gekommen sind, sondern auch darum, was noch getan werden muss – für gleiche Chancen, faire Bezahlung, Respekt und Anerkennung in allen Bereichen des Lebens.
Lasst uns heute und an jedem anderen Tag für eine Welt einstehen, in der Frauen gehört, gesehen und wertgeschätzt werden – ohne Kompromisse. 💜🌍
