In his 2nd Zoom-in, UIA expert of the Curing the Limbo project in Athens, Levente Polyak, explores how education and training activities within the programme help refugees.
The project’s trajectory invites refugees to participate in language courses, audio-visual and ICT trainings and engage with citizen initiatives. These activities help them develop new skills, gradually enter the job market and access housing. In this podcast, Levente returns to the Serafio building, the Curing the Limbo headquarters, located in the Western side of the centre of Athens.
