  • Digital Inclusion: A Gateway to Integration for Migrants

    Today, the technological and digital transition is accelerating, making access to technology and online resources essential. Some people, already facing various forms of discrimination, are digitally excluded, complicating their integration. For newcomers, digital inclusion is crucial for their integration and well-being. Ensuring their access to digital tools and resources eases their transition and encourages active societal participation.

Thus, as part of the WELDI project, the municipality hosted the third transnational meeting of the network devoted to the theme of housing.
