Jan Drtina
Social worker

Expert consultant at RUBIKON Centrum, a non-profit organization dedicated to working with people in conflict with the law. Twenty years ago slipped into a hard drug addiction, which he used for over 10 years. His drug addiction eventually deprived him of his freedom and he spent three years behind bars. After his release from prison, he began a new life, but still struggled with the stigma of being an ex-convict and a drug addict. In 2021, he attended a TEDx conference as a speaker, which changed his life. He gained enough confidence to follow what he wanted and now tries to pass on his experience gained in prison and return to 'normal life' through his help those in need.
