With our programs we invest in the youth of our island. We are also aware of the fact that we cannot prepare healthy youngsters if their family members are not involved in the program. Therefore our programs are directed on all parts of the system, the youth and it’s family members. The objective is to create better relationship and communication in the household. A healthy household means healthy men and women for our community. From the very first moment we started with the program in 2011, it was noticeable that the family members have to take part in the program, where we are forming and educating. The family is the principal stone of a community. It is the place where the human being firstly gets it’s forming and education. Without involving the surrounding of the participants it is impossible to reach the goals in their fullest potential. We realized, if we wanted to give the participants the assistance they really deserve to succeed in all areas of their lives, the participation of their family members is imperative. The family is like a “training center” where the human being is trained to become a healthy member of it’s society. It is a necessity to also invest in the family. The positive results of the investment can then be seen in the household, neighbourhood, school, work-station and our community. The family is the founder of the human being. It is responsible for creating the identity, personality and dignity of the human being to go for life’s challenges. The family creates co- responsible, dynamic, creative and active men and women for it’s community. Parents are the first educator of their child and should therefore be trained and guided to be able to guarantee a healthy and safe environment for their child. The family is the “place” of the initiation of the existence of a human being. The place where he opens itself to life and social existence. Authority, stability and healthy family relations forms the foundation for liberty, security and brotherhood in a society. It is in the family that a child learns about norms and values, to fear God and to make good use of it’s liberty. Family life is the initiation of living together in the society. When looking closely at your community you can tell which type of families you have in your society. The family continues to be the place of the implication of sinsere affection. It is like a strong desire for personal acknowledgement. It secures the stability required in ones life. To contribute to healthy households in our community our programs have been expanded with the “Parental Bootcamp”, a pedagogical camping for parents where they can acquire the necessary skills and insights to become a succesfull “training center”.

It often concerns behavioural problems, emotional disorders, autistic disorders, learning disabilities and/or intellectual limitations. Fundashon Skol di Arte i Kultura Futuro Briante was founded in 2006 with the objective to give social education to high-risk youth staying in residential institutes on the island. Presently the project has been expanded with preventive programs for self-bodied and forming trainings, individual guidance programs and/or group directed guidance programs in primary education, special primary education, secondary education and labour directed education. Pedagogical support programs for parents in the form of individual and/or group directed giudance programs (particularly teenage mothers), support programs for school teachers, trainings for adults in residential organizations, after care assistance, a forming experiential learning program for the youth (Adventure Camp Curacao), a special program for the youth to acquire discipline, leadership and teamwork (Vacation Bootcamp Curacao) and a pedago- gical camping for parents (Parental Bootcamp) also form an important part of the activities of the organization today. Assistance can be offered in various ways. When offering assistance we do our utmost to meet with the necessity of the client. Most of the times we notice the limitation of helping oneself and the possibility of handling adequately with certain situations are insufficient or burned out. The guidance offered can give new insights, courage and the strength to carry on. It can be a turning point in the situation one is experiencing, a change or improvement of circumstances. The assistance is offered in small-scale group team or individual. The assistance can be specifically directed to help the youngster at school or at home. The individual and/or group directed giudance programs for the youth are executed with the cooperation of YudaboYu, Centre for psychiatry for children and youth (drs. Karen Hermans, children and youth psychiatrist). The guidance programs are initiated with the composition of an assistance plan. The cooperation of YudaboYu (drs. K. Hermans) consist of the analysis of the problem situation and advice with regard to the proper approach of the problem/need for implementation at home as well as school. The pedagogical support program for the parents and school teachers are also given in cooperation with t the children and youth psychiatrist, drs. Karen Hermans. Forming trainings and individual guidance programs for high-risk youth, young adults and adults are structural activities of Fundashon Futuro Briante. The parents are also considered for support in the education of their children. With the (professional) intervention the following areas are stimulated and fortified, social emotional development, personal development, knowledge and insight, communication and social skills, moral development and self-bodied.
