| 2020/12/07 - 2020/12/07 | Webinar Lisbon must act: This webinar aims to reflect on alternatives that can improve the reception and integration of migrants
and refugees, focusing on human rights and the direct participation of civil society. With these debates, we hope to find
sustainable solutions applicable to the Portuguese context. We want to know if, in addition to the will to welcome, we have
the resources and space to put these ideas into practice, optimizing the existing structure that is already part of our cities. (2020/12/07 - 2020/12/07)
