In January 2023, Ukrainian Hub launched Amarelo\/Azul business camp<\/a> \u2013 an innovative educational program for forcibly displaced Ukrainian women who aim to start their own business in Portugal.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our goal was to provide Ukrainian women with the knowledge and tools needed to create a sustainable business in a new country, empower them, and create a community of like-minded women who will support each other.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t"We created a training program to provide (Ukrainian resettled women) with the necessary tools to create a source of income in Portugal. At the same time, companies founded by immigrants will contribute to the creation of a new business ecosystem, contributing to the development of the local economy."\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThe European Union, its member countries and, above all, European citizens continue their steadfast support for Ukraine. That is why we have activated the European Temporary Protection Mechanism to give these people safe status and access to schools, healthcare, care and work in the European Union. But it is also necessary to create mechanisms for real integration in the host country. And this is where this initiative from Ukrainian hub fulfills an important role, which the Representation of the European Commission proudly supports, providing assistance to Ukrainian women who are forced to leave their homes and who are an example of courage and resilience\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
