In episode 34 of the Narratives of Purpose podcast, Emmanuelle Werner Gillioz explains how Yojoa enables young refugees and migrants to become self-sufficient, productive members of society by putting their talents to work in local businesses.
An opportunity to talk about inclusion, why it's more important today than ever, and the concrete solutions Yojoa proposes to make it a reality.

Our first event took place on Thursday, May 5 (at L'iceBergues), and was an opportunity to share our work and motivations, and to bring together our partners and friends.
It was also a chance to end the first "skills project" on a high note, by bringing together the young people who had taken part, and listening to the success stories of our partners through a human bookshop.

Position of our director in the "opinion" section of Le Temps.

Screening of the documentary "Mebrahtu", directed by Béatrice Guelpa in 2021, as part of the forum "Jeunes débouté-es de l'asile à Genève : quelle insertion?" programmed by the FIFDH in Geneva (International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights).
This documentary, which appeared on RTS's Mise au Point program in October 2021, portrays a young man accompanied by Yojoa whose asylum application was rejected despite a highly successful integration process.
The screening was followed by the debate "Young rejected asylum seekers in Geneva: what form of integration?" in which our director brought news of Mebrahtu.

Invitation to sign the open letter written by Coordination asile.ch and signed by over 800 individuals and organizations.
