After the "Primeiros Encontros" (First Encounters) of 2023, moments of gathering and sharing with the migrant population of Guimarães where stories were told, experiences shared, and processes of belonging, integration, and friendship were strengthened, we open the doors of the CIAJG for a meeting dedicated to the Middle East. We will have guests who will speak from their experience, but we invite everyone to join the circle of conversation and share their stories.
