Welcome to the website of the participatory research project EMPOW!

Here, you will find everything there is to know about our project, which is being implemented in the three cities of Berlin, Hanover and Munich.

In this project, refugees research into the topic of health together with partners from the the health sector and scientists from LMU Munich. In addition to research, we also develop practical projects designed to promote the health of refugees. The full title of the project is “Vulnerability and Empowerment: Participatory Approaches to Health Promotion with Refugees” (EMPOW).

It is our pleasure to greet anyone who is interested in our project!
