AN INSERTION PROGRAM IN 3 PARTS: SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW-HOW
Acquire basic knowledge to develop the confidence necessary to integrate into society
After having worked on the inner wounds of our young people to ensure that no behavioral problem interferes with their reintegration, the next step is to offer them the knowledge necessary to fill specific gaps and allow them to believe in themselves and their abilities. We briefly assess the young people when they arrive with us to identify their training needs. And most of them need literacy above all else. So they start by learning the alphabet, the syllables, in short, the basics. After this base, we seek to place young people in different professional training courses according to their centers of interest. Daniella, for example, has started training in hairdressing, while waiting to resume her studies in September. One of the difficulties with this phase of acquiring knowledge is convincing the people who could train the young people of their will to change. Most don’t trust them and aren’t always willing to give them a chance. But we persevere all the same because we believe that these young people have a bright future ahead of them, if only they learn to believe in themselves and in all the promises of God concerning their lives and that society gives them a chance.
