Young Perspectives (YOPE) meets youth and professionals in closed forensic care facilities. We work with creative methods – ranging from spoken word to social design – and the perspective of youth is guiding everything we do.
In the Netherlands, YOPE designs services that directly benefit incarcerated youth and the professionals that they work with. Internationally, YOPE engages with partners in training programmes for like and unlike-minded organisations and professionals. Meet our partners below:
