The mentoring program: A presence for all
The objective of the A Presence for All project is to support participants' personal, social, religious, political, identity or ideological questions, towards pro-social spaces and means of engagement. Thus, the program does not aim to counter any ideological affiliation, political / religious orientations or personal beliefs, but rather to support people going through personal problems that could make them fall into extremism or hatred.
