Three insights on migration: Julia, Women’s Platform
The Scalabrini team works with migrants and refugees every day. With such deep expertise at hand, we take the opportunity to reflect on migration with them. This month we speak to Julia, the Women’s Platform Livelihood Manager at Scalabrini, whose passion is kept alive by the strength and power she sees in the women around her.

Undaunted, Steve took the challenge as an opportunity and after lessons from Scalabrini English School he began teaching the beginners English classes – with dreams of creating his own medical research app bubbling to the foreground.
