If you are an immigrant or the child of an immigrant, you have experience in colaborating with associations and you wish to become a leader to support the migrant community, this Citizenship School is the space to do it. The ultimate goal: to educate yourself to defend diversity as a social value, to train yourself to be a new example for social change.
