What is community imp!act?

We believe progress happens when people connect, share their aspirations, take action based on their strengths, and own their challenge.  Refugees/immigrants face several challenges, among others inclusion to the Swiss society and culture, understanding the system in Switzerland, integrating to the job market and learning the local language.

That is why we are committed in supporting refugee/immigrant communities  in Zürich to think and act for and by themselves. Communities have the capacity to respond when they own the issue they struggle with. That capacity remains to be revealed and nurtured. We seek to accompany the refugee communities as they go on the path to ownership of their challenges and act on them. Thus, we are organising community imp!act for and with the Ethiopian and Sudanese community in Zürich. community imp!act is a 3-days workshop where communities identify their common challenges, brainstorm solution ideas, put them into concrete project action plans, test them right away and receive feedback and support from experts.  It will be organised from 26-28 April 2019 in Zürich.
