Lived experience refers to the unique and subjective knowledge that individuals gain through their personal encounters, perceptions, and interactions with the world. It encompasses the day-to-day realities, emotions, and insights that people accumulate as they navigate through their lives. This term is often used in various fields, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, and healthcare, to emphasize the importance of understanding and valuing the perspectives of individuals based on their own direct encounters with different aspects of life, for example as an employee. Employment of people with lived-experience is the practice that emphasizes the importance of considering an individual’s personal experiences, especially those related to challenges or barriers they have overcome, when making employment decisions. This approach recognizes the value of firsthand knowledge and the unique perspectives that individuals with specific life experiences can bring to the workplace.

The European Rules on Detention Houses (ERDH) is a milestone document for the criminal justice system and reflects the larger impact of this system on society. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of Europe, the ERDH were launched on October 31st as common standards to implement small-scale, differentiated and community-integrated detention houses in the European Union, as part of a pivotal change already happening in criminal justice systems across Europe. The ERDH set out the ecosystem of a detention house on its own and as part of, and within a community and society, emphasizing sustainability.
