Qui sommes-nous

• Networking
Peer support groups: We meet to help each other get through the inclusion process and brake isolation.

We engage and empower: We participated in UNHCR’s Global Refugee Forum in Geneva with two refugee representatives and we participated in a panel discussion at conference Mental well-being as a key to integration in the Nordic countries organized by Nordic Welfare Center
