How can hairdressing transform lives? – with Shaping Futures

Growing up in socially disadvantaged and challenging environments –
this is the harsh reality for many children and young adults
worldwide. Escaping these circumstances, breaking the cycle, and
achieving financial independence, however, is a difficult journey.
This is why Shaping Futures, a global initiative by Schwarzkopf
Professional, is dedicated to empowering young individuals through
the craft of hairdressing. Born from a small Japanese project with
Cambodian street children in 2008 and now partnering with SOS
children’s villages, Shaping Futures supports young adults from
tough backgrounds by providing them with professional hairdressing
skills and connecting them with secure job opportunities in
partnering local salons worldwide. In this episode, Janine talks to
Kai Görlitz, Global CSR & Sustainability Manager at Henkel, and
Margie Fuentes, a recent Shaping Futures graduate, about the story
behind the initiative and how the program creates prospects for
young adults all around the world today.
