The Added Value of 360 REWIN-REsilient Immigrant Women Interventions for Inclusion (UBU)
The session commenced with a prominent presentation on the “360 REWIN-REsilient” project, which primarily aims to empower resilient immigrant women and promote their inclusion in society. For a full hour, attendees had the opportunity to delve into the details of this innovative project being driven by the University of Burgos.
The project focuses on empowering immigrant women and seeks to provide them with opportunities for effective inclusion in society.
