Areas of Intervention

In practical terms, this platform’s objectives involve preventing exclusion by promoting social inclusion, inclusion in work, etc., and also providing support with everyday bureaucratic matters (income tax (IRS), renting, employment rights, social benefits, looking for work/training, etc.), with the help of volunteers from the relevant fields, who may in time build bonds of trust and mutual interest, contributing to a secure and reassuring environment, so necessary for those who have already experienced abandonment.
