Social Space
We believe in the power of community and connection. Our Centre offers a welcoming social space where individuals and families can come together, share experiences, and support each other. This space serves as a hub for positive social interaction, where friendships are formed, and cultural traditions are celebrated.
Language Lessons
Language is a key to integration. We offer language lessons in both French and English, facilitating smoother communication and helping refugees adapt to their new environment. These lessons range from beginner to advanced levels, catering to all ages and ensuring that every participant can progress at their own pace.
Career advice
Empowerment through employment is one of our key goals. We offer advice and guidance on finding work, understanding the local job market, and navigating Swiss administrative procedures. Our aim is to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve independence and stability. The USpring programme created with partner, Ukraine Reborn supports young professionals in their career development.
Recreational Activities
Our Centre is a place of joy and learning for children and youth. We offer a variety of recreational activities, including arts and crafts, sports, and cultural events, designed to engage young minds, foster creativity, and provide a sense of normalcy and fun in challenging times.
Integration and Community Building
Integration into the local community is essential for long-term wellbeing. We facilitate various engagement activities aimed at building bridges between Ukrainian refugees and the Swiss community. These initiatives promote cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and lasting friendships.
Psycho-Social Counseling
Understanding the profound impact of displacement and trauma, we provide through our partner Ukraine Reborn, professional psycho-social counseling. Our team of compassionate counselors offers support for emotional and mental health challenges, helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of their experiences with sensitivity and care.
