Furthermore, the 'Favorites' function permits easy recall of important information, while the sharing option offers a way to disseminate helpful resources amongst peers.

This robust platform represents a joint effort, continuously refined in collaboration with its user community, including feedback from social workers, to guarantee an experience that genuinely resonates with the needs of refugees in France.
