Momentum

Diversifying career paths

We help creating future opportunities for immigrants.

Project was implemented 1.8.2023-31.1.2026.

Equality in education and working life.

Career paths

The project aims was to lower the threshold towards studies and worklife. We worked with people, who would unlikely be reaching to college or university studies without participating to project actions.

With the project actions, we encouraged people to think and recognize their future possibilities and also reach for their dreams.

The project utilized art-oriented methods which could be used to strengthen participation and interaction and helping to learn new skills that can be transferred to working life.
