    About this project

    Jürgen Zenkel from JugendArbeit & Sport gGmbH is responsible for this project
    The Work and Box Company is a job-orientation measure. This project’s goal is to help the clients in finding jobs. Another important goal is to allow them to channel their aggressions and turn them into productive, self-sufficient energies.

    Target group:
    · young males, aged 16 to 21
    · with encounters with the police, and/or a criminal record
    · hardly socially integrated
    · mostly school drop-outs
    · often with migration background
    · repeatedly failed to complete other measures
    · further personal, drug or debt related problems

    Comprehensive, eclectic and individualised approach:

    · proximity to economy: confrontation with daily routine of handicraft businesses
    · social therapy: using systematic family therapy to establish contact and understand the young persons’ situation and help them develop new perspectives of behaviour
    · pro-active integration of experiences: especially through working and boxing
    · boxing: this kind of physical therapy makes the clients deal with themselves and is an indicator of their state and degree of development.
    · synergy: experiences are communicated and shared with each other, everyone involved focuses the same clear objective.

    Four stages:

    · self-confrontation and orientation towards the internal
    · working on oneself and orientation towards the external
    · choosing a profession, establishing contact, first internships, placements
    · bi-annual counselling
