2023
29-30 NOV.

The Mentoring Program has been working for 25 years on the transition of youth in the social protection system towards an independent life. The progress in this area has been substantial in some regions of the Spanish State but many challenges must still be tackled in that journey towards independence.
The 1st International Congress on Transition of Youth in the Social Protection System to Adult Life aims to address these challenges from both an academic and professional insight, and that of the administration, companies and other stakeholders involved in the process.
