    Goals / Remit

    Melissa is a network of refugee and migrant women, promoting empowerment, active citizenship and social cohesion. It has created an innovative community-based integration programme offered on a daily basis consisting of 7 strands of activities: literacy, psycho-social support, life-skills, information and advocacy, art and creativity, self-care and community engagement. It operates on the basis of a common platform, a hub where networks and individuals can meet, share their concerns and ideas, and support each other in the pursuit of their common goals. The aim is to bring migrant and refugee women together and to make their voices heard. All the activities are planned in order to open channels of communication and to promote integration. Their empowerment will not only enhance their own circumstances and improve the conditions of their children and their wider ethnic communities, but will contribute to the overall social cohesion.
