Ayesha | Viana do Castelo, PT BIP Ageing and Inclusion
This program has really given me a new perspective on life. It wasn’t just an academic experience, but a personal one too. Getting to know new people, being more open to new experiences and stepping out of my comfort zone has helped me to become more courageous and self-confident.

I left Nicosia with new partners, new friends and a clear motivation to keep working on this.
