Detailed description

Who are we
The Don Bosco Werken Nederland Foundation (DBWN) is a partnership of independent youth and youth works, which work according to the Pedagogic Preventive Approach (PPA) of Don Bosco, an Italian priest who lived in the nineteenth century. His objective was prevention; he wanted to prevent young people in Turin from ending up in prison among the hardened criminals. Don Bosco's vision of education still fits in perfectly with today's multicultural society. Currently, eight youth and youth works are affiliated with DBWN through a covenant, but they function as independent and independent foundations.
