To achieve its objectives, the Turning Blue partnership, with the support of some key stakeholders will develop the following results:

Turning Blue Roadmap 

A roadmap on attractive ‘blue careers’ for vulnerable young people serving time in prison. It will be a key-tool for bridging the future with the present covering different layers:​
  • Blue economy sectors available at local, regional, national, and European level
  • Attractive ‘blue careers’ for this target group
  • The needed knowledge, skills and competences to perform these blue careers
  • ‘Turning Blue’ Roadmap providing guidance on the necessary steps to reach these careers.
  • Turning Blue Network, to start and maintain cooperation between Blue Economy industries / sectors and prison services. 

Turning Blue Awareness Training

​​This result will provide innovative and tailor-made training materials on sustainable blue economy to inspire and engage young people serving time in prison (between 16 and 30 years) to pursue a sustainable ‘blue career’ in one of the Blue Economy sectors.

 Turning Blue Intervention Model

Within the Turning Blue Intervention Model there will  be designed and created new models and tools that will allow the sustainability, transferability and scaling-up the impact of the project. They are: ​
  • a transition model for the blue economy sector to ensure a well-articulated process between prison services, professional counsellors, blue economy sectors and civil society organisations providing after-detention support to these young people
  • a job-matching platform
  • an intervention Trainer Manual
  • a Capacity-building of prison professionals & career counsellors on the intervention model
  • a 'Turning Blue' Mentorship Programme
  • a Capacity-building of blue industry professionals.
