Find out more about Brake-Out

For 18 years, I was convinced I could barely do anything. Brake-Out has made me more independent. I now know what I am good at and what I love doing.

Aline, student

3 years, 2 days a week

As a student, you will participate in the activities of Brake-Out 2 days a week. Together with 8 other young adults, you will gain a lot of new experiences. You will be given the chance to try out new things: volunteer work, creating new projects... One day a week we head out. The other day we stay at the course location. The learning programme consists of different modules, which revolve around life themes such as housing, relationships, leisure and work.

After 3 years

... you will have an appealing perspective for the future.
... you will be strong and resilient.
... you will be surrounded by a network that believes in you.

Brake-Out helps you build the life YOU want.
