In this project, 6 young people from diverse backgrounds joined OCC as volunteers: 3 young people from Europe and three young people with fewer opportunities (cultural differences: related to immigrants or refugees or descendants of immigrant or refugee families; people belonging to a national or ethnic minority) who are already in Spain in a legal situation. It was the first time that we will welcome refugees who were already in the country. That was one unique experience and that showed us very positive results as the volunteers facilitated the development of our projects with their personal initiatives and their intercultural potential.
