“I’m at school but all I can think about is Syria, Syria, Syria”

The Aarhus Model involves both prevention and cure. In some cases it offers young people returning from Syria the opportunity to reintegrate into Danish society, provided they’ve committed no offence abroad. In others, it provides mentoring for those intent on going to Syria, to persuade them not to travel. Tim Mansel meets one of the mentors.
