When a person migrates to another country, either for work or because they were displaced from their territory by armed conflicts, there are many situations that can affect them. One of the main issues is integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Integration is about adapting to the customs of the new place where the migrant settles. This is not just the language but also other cultural aspects that the person will learn and have to get used to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why the Coraz\u00f3n Migrante (Migrant Heart<\/a>) program was created by Merling Sapene, who is an expert in change management, leader of high social impact projects, consultant, writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This program was created based on the premise that immigrants go through critical difficulties in the process of insertion in the country where they migrate, which are caused by not being able to manage emotions they experience in the integration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coraz\u00f3n Migrante<\/a> is a digital platform where migrants can learn how to manage emotions to achieve effective and happy integration. The program is not created for a particular group of migrants but instead looks to achieve a global impact, regardless of age, sex, social status or education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This program seeks to influence migrants\u2019 state of well-being, adaptability, attitude, as well as cultivate feelings of hope, happiness, peace, confidence, as they work towards their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coraz\u00f3n Migrante is available not only in Spanish but also in other languages such as English and French. The program hopes to influence public policies in the countries where it is implemented so that this program is included in migration initiatives. The program has the potential to impact Latin American countries such as Chile, Argentina, Colombia and other countries such as Canada, Belgium, and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I was motivated to start \u2018Coraz\u00f3n Migrante\u2019 after going through my own experience of emigrating from my country, and experiencing the feeling of leaving everything behind and starting over in another place. The process of integration is heartbreaking and at the same time enriching<\/strong>.\u201d Merling shares. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Following the publication of her first book in 2018, \u201cAvoid bumps during the integration path,\u201d Merling was invited to the United Nations to lead a panel on migration in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This helped her to realize that her book and related workshops could be of great use as a tool that can help millions of people around the world by equipping them with knowledge and turning them into an inexhaustible source of value and wealth generation for the countries that host them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
