19. Hypothesis
Through an interaction with creative professionals,
one can instill a sense of responsibility and long-term
planning to potential gang members in Honduras.
This in contrast to existing gang member remediation
programs which focus primarily on overt vocational needs.
This interaction could help reach the teens’ longing
for autonomy, mastery, and purpose to disrupt
patterns of poverty in their communities.
