Gaspar shares insights from his psychological work and what needs to change to make learning more inclusive and empowering. 🌍 Immigration & Assimilation into Portuguese Culture We dive into the lived experience of adapting to life in Portugal, balancing identity with belonging and the psychological impact of integration.
