On June 29 at 18.00 in the capital of Spain – Madrid, I had the opportunity to participate as a lawyer in the information conference “Rights and responsibilities of Ukrainian immigrants in Spain”. The organizers of this important event were Perez-Lorka and the “With Ukraine” Association, with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in Spain and the Madrid Bar Association. My speakers at this event were professionals such as Lilia Mykolaiv, Darya Kvasnevska, Margarita Akulina, Oksana Levytska, Lilia Shala and Jose Suarez. Péyerezllorca’s Director of Corporate Social Responsibility, Isabel Jimenez, was also represented at the conference.

The significance of the event for me and the Ukrainian community in Spain

This conference was not only a significant event for me, but also important for the Ukrainian community in Spain. It gave me the opportunity to share my experience and knowledge in the field of immigration and international law, which helped the participants, especially in relation to child protection, to better understand their rights and responsibilities in Spain.

Scientific and professional development

Participation in such events allows me to develop my profession, in particular in the field of protecting the rights of migrants. My ability to collaborate with other professionals and organizations is key to achieving common goals. High-quality and clear presentation of complex legal concepts is an important skill that I regularly use in my legal practice.
