Webinar: ‘Hispanic-American immigrants in Portugal - Debate on social integration issues’

Organised by CEPESE with the Fernando Pessoa University, this webinar will take place on 19 December at 4pm (online session).

This webinar aims to debate the reality of the Hispanic-American immigrants in Portugal from the perspective of social integration, highlighting the multiple dimensions that this phenomenon can take on, both in contexts of primary and secondary socialisation, at work, in public participation, in the access to fundamental citizenship resources and in processes of everyday interaction.
