Changes & Chances C&C C&C is an organization realizing professional educational programs and trainings at the intersection of art, education and society.

We work with people at the edge of society and use creative media as a tool to make them more active participants of society. We see non-formal and informal learning as strong tools to develop these skills and methodologies. We started to work in 2012. The first years we worked most of the time with people who have been, or might become in contact with Justice and criminal law. In recent years we

also started to work with other marginal groups such as drug abusers, young at risk, homeless people and refugees, but working with inmates is still the main element of our work. The core team of C&C consists of only three persons, Ed Santman, Ankie Til and Peter van Olmen all with many years of experience working in the cultural and education sector. In most of our trainings developing employability skills is an important element. We use the arts to develop soft skills such as active listening, communication, reflective thinking, collaboration, flexibility, critical thinking, etc. The last few years we worked a lot on blended learning and co-creation. We were involved in developing exiting new methods using our digital skills. We designed games in which we also used innovative approaches such as augmented reality and virtual reality. Recently we have developed a series of trainings and games for young people to help them to find work, find housing, organize their finances and make plans for their future. We stimulate them to become active citizens. Increasing the self-esteem of our target groups is always an element of our work.

Education in prison offers benefits on many levels, not only in prison life but also afterwards. Some of the benefits are reduced recidivism, skill development that leads to more job opportunities, personal growth, behavioral improvement which is associated with a positive prison environment, and social reintegration.

Netwerk meeting Herpt

De afgelopen tien jaar zijn wij, de stichting Changes & Chances, bij veel verschillende,
meestal internationale, educatieve projecten betrokken geweest, waaronder Crestart, waar we die dag ook een workshop over geven.
Onze projecten richten
zich op kwetsbare doelgroepen zoals gedetineerden, druggebruikers, vluchtelingen en
risicojongeren.
We hebben in al die jaren met heel verschillende mensen samengewerkt: psychologen,
jongerenwerkers, professoren, sociaal werkers, onderzoekers, gevangenisdirecteuren,
wereldverbeteraars, filmmakers, game designers, theatermakers, fotografen, muzikanten,
circusartiesten, dansers, om er maar een paar te noemen.
Wat we allemaal gemeen hebben is de gedrevenheid waarmee we ons inzetten voor deze doelgroepen en voor het vak dat we uitoefenen.
