Migrant peers have a fundamental role to play in the development of this DPTA, given that they have previously been in the same situation that the trainees are currently facing and therefore have a better understanding of the problems the migrants are facing. 
  • Health professionals (about 1-2): It is advisable to invite health professionals to participate in the different sessions of this DPTA as observers and with access to the materials and online platform. They also can gain knowledge of the digital competences of migrants and can get ideas on how they can include the use of digital devices in their daily work.
