New Horizon

"New Horizon," co-funded by the European Union, aims to empower young immigrants by enhancing their understanding of social entrepreneurship and addressing their unique social challenges. It seeks to equip them with skills, knowledge, and networks to develop practical solutions to these issues and make a positive impact in their communities. The project also aims to raise awareness about European initiatives related to social entrepreneurship and immigrant integration, fostering a sense of initiative and engagement among participants.
