“I am proud of what we have achieved with this project. When we started in 2017, together with Gered Gereedschap and Young in Prison, our goal was clear: to give former incarcerated youth a second chance. We started small, with a group of 10 students in metalworking and welding. At first, there were many doubts about the success, especially because our students were former prisoners. But soon the results became visible, and the resistance faded.”<\/p>\n
