PhD student in health and well-being of immigrant women in Portugal seeks support for unique training on the subject. Your help is very important!!!
I am a PhD student in psychology, dedicated to research on migration, specifically on the health and well-being of immigrant women in Portugal, an issue that affects thousands of lives in our country. I was recently selected for a one week summer program in Turin, Italy for migration studies. This is a unique opportunity to deepen my knowledge and collaborate with specialists in the field of migration, making it possible to raise funds for more effective and assertive research. Unfortunately, I face financial challenges that prevent me from taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your contribution will not only help me participate in this program, but will also strengthen my research, allowing me to make a significant contribution to understanding and supporting migrant communities in Portugal. Please, if you can collaborate, join me in this personal mission, but mainly social, which seeks to promote a better quality of life for immigrant women in Portugal.
Here is the link to learn more about the program I was approved for = https://imms.sciencesconf.org/
Here is a brief presentation of the program = With internationally renowned specialists from different disciplines (Anthropology, History, Sociology, Political Sciences, Law, Linguistics, Medicine, Psychology, Education, among others), this Summer School focuses on methods both consolidated as innovators in Migration Studies and related areas through lectures, workshops and interactive sessions, providing an interdisciplinary view on different topics. The Summer School "Interdisciplinary Methods in Migration Studies" mainly addresses three thematic areas: Health and Migration, Interdisciplinary Approach and Methods in Migration Studies.
I greatly appreciate your support!
