Brief description:

This is a mandatory introduction training for any organization that wants to implement the Nest Centre model. The Nest Centre is an after-school facility for children from multi-problem families. The main aim is to support and develop the resilience of these children and to empower them so they can overcome their difficulties. The Nest Center essentially forms a home away from home. The copyright on the model is owned by Kinderpostzegels (www.kinderpostzegels.nl); organizations who want to implement Nest are obliged to follow the introductory training organized by ICDI. There is an accompanying manual.
