Description

BAM (acronym for Barbering, Art and Mechanics) is going to be a 3 weeks project that aims to engage the young detainees (age 21-30) of the male department of KIA with both professional and recreational activities. After the successful previous editions of AMIS and FAIS (check on our website), BAM is going to be a TEAM ESC project where Sports and Artistic activities like a mural in the sport ground will be delivered alongside more professional development activities such as Barbering and Mechanics, that will help the young inmates in their future professional life outside the prison.
