BREEKJAAR

BREEKJAAR is awesome! It is a ‘gap year’ for adolescents that are in between high school (middelbare school) and college (MBO, HBO, Universiteit) and do not quite know what their next step will be. It is the kind of ‘school’ that you wished you would’ve been able to attend. It focuses on may aspects that you cannot lear in normal education – personal development, connecting to yourself and your passion, connecting to others, discovering possibilities by playing, creating and making mistakes…

I support Breekjaar in developing their MarComms strategy and execution, on a Freelance basis. Besides that, I jump wherever support is needed – by facilitating the introduction weekend, introducing the Breekers (that’s what we call the youngsters that attend the program) to yoga and finding ways to make them aware of the importance of good food and a healthy lifestyle.

I’m a true believer! I think that every individual deserves the opportunity to get to know themselves. There is so much to learn about life. Especially at the delicate age of 16 – 21. I remember exactly how I felt about ‘the future’ after high school: it was one abstract concept. In retrospect, I wish I would’ve known more about the possibilities. And more importantly: about how to be true to myself, and follow my own path. It is amazing to see how much the Breekers learn in their gap year. They come out as strong, confident, compassionate and most of all authentic and loveable individuals, ready to face the challenges of this wonderful and crazy world.

I’m so proud to be part of this! Check it out on breekjaar.nl.
