  The purpose of this project is to promote social integration and mutual understanding between corporate employees and refugees by using sport, specifically cricket, as a shared platform for interaction and cultural exchange. For many refugees, particularly those from cricket-playing countries, cricket is more than a sport; it is an important part of their cultural identity. A fun, hands-on introduction to cricket allows volunteers to experience this passion directly, making it an accessible and enjoyable way to understand culture and begin meaningful intercultural exchange. The project benefits refugees by building social connections, confidence, visibility, and access to informal mentoring and role models. Volunteers benefit through meaningful intercultural engagement, team-building, and active social responsibility. In a structured one-day programme, refugees and volunteers train and play cricket together in mixed teams, breaking down barriers through shared experience. This is followed by shared meals and small-group exchanges, where volunteers share educational and professional journeys.

  With its 105 hectares, the Neeracherried is one of the last large lowland moors in Switzerland and is a nationally significant protected area. It provides valuable habitat for countless birds, plants, amphibians, reptiles, and small animals—and also serves as a resting place for migratory birds, a winter refuge, and a breeding ground for rare species. More than 450 plant species have been recorded here. However, these populations are threatened by problematic and invasive non-native plants. Without protective measures, these so-called neophytes, such as goldenrod, can completely wipe out less competitive species (e.g., orchids). Regular mowing of the meadows is not enough. Only pulling out these plants along with their roots is effective enough and makes a valuable contribution to preserving biodiversity. For this, we rely on active support.

  At Histoire sans chute (HSC), we believe that every material has infinite reuse potential, including textiles. Our team shares this vision by creating local systems for collecting, sorting, and reusing this valuable resource, as well as organizing events focused on repair and raising awareness about the world of textiles. The HSC arcade is a textile resource center in the heart of Geneva (the first of its kind!), serving as a second-hand haberdashery (materials for sale), a shared space (for machines and other tools), and a hub for promoting textile repair. In short, it’s a place for both material and human exchange.

  With its 105 hectares, the Neeracherried is one of the last large fens in Switzerland and is a nature reserve of national importance. It provides a valuable habitat for countless birds, plants, amphibians, reptiles, and small ani-mals – and serves as a stopover site for migratory birds, a wintering area, and a breeding ground for rare species. To ensure that we can continue to observe these fascinating animals undisturbed from our observation hides, the willow-wattle-fencing in front of the hides need to be re-newed. For this, we are looking for active support with harvesting and debranching the willows, as well as weaving the willow walls. Depending on the season, different tasks may arise.
