About
“Education in Freedom” (ELEDUC) is a project developed within the Sustainability Office at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. It aims to prepare, support, and guide women who are currently or have previously been incarcerated in accessing and remaining in higher education. The program delivers workshops, tutoring, and ongoing support tailored to participants’ needs and the challenges they may encounter in this path. These activities are led by university students, faculty, and staff, with guidance from a dedicated professional team. Upon completion of their studies, participants receive continued support through job placement assistance and career guidance.
