Support to people in conflict with the law through coaching activities that offer the opportunity to improve soft skills, in particular leadership, therefore countering the risk of reoffending.
Context
Starting over after release from prison is never an easy transition. Although there are socio-cultural obstacles to rehabilitation, it can be facilitated by working on oneself to reconsider one’s scale of values, strengths and weaknesses, and personal abilities. On this basis, a need for alternative training paths emerges, that are centred on the enhancement of each individual’s potential, so as to facilitate reintegration into the community and combat recidivism.

- Provide people in conflict with the law the skills to reintegrate into society after release from detention facilities or communities.
Activities
