The project

Supporting Women and youth in Emergency with Environment of Trust In Europe

SWEETIE aims to facilitate the social inclusion of refugees fleeing Ukraine, particularly women and youth, and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public services. It achieves these objectives by influencing specific areas of the welfare and labour systems (i.e., job access and inclusion, education, healthcare) in each country for these to become gender-responsive and culture-sensitive public services. SWEETIE replicates an intervention model tested in Italy (SWEET) by transferring it to Greece and Poland and by scaling it up in Italy at a political level.
