About the project
HEART & MIND aims to empower young migrant women, enhance their capacity to cope with challenges, provide support, and facilitate their integration into their new communities.
This project will see competent experts facilitate several capacity-building workshops and webinars for women’s empowerment and to provide ultimate recommendations for a fulfilling life.
Our experts will share important information and resources to guide women in decision-making.
We also offer a safe space for women to share their concerns and receive essential advice.
Our peer -to-peer mentoring offer will connect young migrant women new to Hamburg with mentors – experienced women for family and life counselling.
Networking & social events are the icing on the cake!
