The attendees showed great interest and participation, and appreciated our involvement in the session. We met people from different countries of origin; Cameroon, Syria, Ukraine, Kenya, Honduras… as well as different levels of education, although most of them had a university education. The attendees had been living in Barcelona for several months and had a good knowledge of the Spanish language.As a result of our participation in this session, we are working towards signing an agreement with CCAR in order to promote the reception of candidates who participate in this program and match the selection processes managed by the department.
