How to organize activities with asylum seekers

SCI Switzerland is a non-profit organisation dealing with non-violent conflict resolution, sustainable development, and intercultural learning. Through the placement of committed volunteers, SCI supports ecological, social, and cultural projects in Switzerland. Every year, about 250 people from Switzerland work in SCI projects abroad and about 150 international volunteers support Swiss projects.

Few people know that SCI works not only on an international level, but also with local activities. In the local groups volunteers meet, discuss, and take concrete actions.

This workshop will allow you to…

• Discover how volunteers established a local project to increase dialogue and interaction between local youth and immigrants: for example by organizing activities for children living in an asylum seeker centre.

• Learn more about SCI and its philosophy of volunteering.

• Obtain all the crucial information to create your very own community project!
