There would be no Solidarity FabLabs without FabManagers. They tell us how they offer a real alternative to young people in difficulty who are searching for themselves, or who do not see themselves following the traditional path.The aim is to restore their confidence so that they can succeed in their professional lives.
We met up with some of these young people.
