Danaë started working at the Future Worlds Center in March 2012 as a Public Information Officer for the [[UNHCR]] funded project [[Strengthening Asylum]] for Refugees And Asylum Seekers in Cyprus. The post sought to raise awareness on refugee and asylum issues in Cyprus. In January 2014 she undertook the post of the Integration Officer through which she advocated for, and supported the integration of individuals and communities of refugees into the Cypriot society. As part of her roles Danae assisted individuals with their residency applications, helped them navigate their way through the Cypriot labour market, and organised and facilitate a series of workshops for persons of concern (i.e. young, female asylum seekers and refugees), helping them gain important skills, knowledge and competencies that would enable their participation in the local communities. She also co-hosted a weekly radio show on Astra FM on the minority groups Cyprus and human rights. Danae also held the project coordinator's role for the Rehabilitation Program for survivors of torture funded by the UNVRVT(United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture) fund.
