Your Global Future

Explore the stimulating entrepreneurship program designed for seekers of international protection in both destination and origin regions. This initiative, led by Bert Verstraelen from the City of Antwerp, focuses on facilitating voluntary returns with support from partners like FEDASIL, VDAB, Caritas Int, and IOM. The project, inspired by Plan Einstein in Utrecht, aims to enhance access to employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for refugees. Through counseling, skill mapping, generic entrepreneurship courses, and reintegration support, the project seeks to empower individuals for success in their countries of origin. Join us for an insightful session on this innovative venture.
