Alex is now a 35 years old appreciated cook of a prestigious restaurant in Palermo.
At 19 he spent 3 years in jail.
- Where he had the opportunity to study cooking. After jail, he applied for seasonal jobs and got rejected multiple times.
- He was frustrated: He was aware about his competences, he didn’t know how to show them
HE HAD AN INTERNAL CONFLICT
What do you think he did? Before moving to the next slide, try to imagine a possible solution to his problems
…He was creative, brave and assertive!
He offers his help in a solidarity kitchen managed by a German association
He got a job contract in Germany (he was a bit anxious about the language issues but not having any other offer he decided to accept it)
After 7 years living there he decided to find a way to be back in his hometown.
Thanks to the experience gathered now
- he has a great job in his city
- he is planning to open his own restaurant in about 5 years
A conflict is not positive nor negative!
