Since 2021, Iro has returned back to Greece, gaining experience in the NGO sector as the project manager of an integration programme, which focused on supporting refugees and migrants in entering the Greek labour market.

Her role varied, from setting in place the main processes and “systems” of the programme, to doing career counselling, organising and delivering employability skills workshops and connecting with employers.
