Event details

In this guided walk through Vesterbro, John takes you through his own story: a young life at sea, years of drug addiction on the streets of Aarhus and later Copenhagen, and time spent in prison in Thailand and Denmark.

The turning point came in a prison cell, where reading books on philosophy and history sparked a new curiosity in him and slowly drew him away from drugs. His message is that people struggling with addiction are more than their dependency, with depth, interests and dreams like everyone else.

Along the way he also points out the support services available to people who use drugs, making this a walk that is both personal and practical.
