Quotes

"The rules that are in the center are very important. The rule that is here, the schedule, is what we have any person in any house."

Diagrama Focus

The Group of Young People in Alicante explains how the Diagrama model fosters a sense of responsibility and personal development through structured routines, mentorship, and education. They highlight that Diagrama’s rehabilitative approach encourages young people to engage in meaningful activities that prepare them for life beyond the justice system. The model is built on the idea that creating opportunities for skill-building and personal reflection leads to long-term transformation. They emphasize that strict but fair rules in the centers mirror real-life expectations, helping young people develop habits that will support their reintegration into society.
