incluso is looking for volunteers with professional experience (mentors) to work with migrants (mentees). The aim of the project is to promote equal opportunities in the Swiss apprenticeship market for young people from migrant backgrounds – especially those who have recently immigrated to Switzerland. We organize tandems who work together over the course of a school year. There is an ever-increasing set of demands placed on school leavers as they transition to the job market. They need to be well connected, understand the complex Swiss education system and be confident in their own abilities. Young people from migrant backgrounds face greater hurdles in this process and often have fewer resources at their disposal.

At the beginning of October we are looking for volunteers to maintain a varied ecological compensation area in the vineyards of Salgesch. These areas have different habitats with a lot of diversity and are extremely valuable in the otherwise homogeneous vineyards. Together with you, we want to carry out ecological maintenance of these areas on October 8. After an introduction to the correct use of the tools, we will be hands on. Help to preserve the valuable habitat for many species!

The voCHabular association has developed a self-learning tool in the form of a book and an app to help people with a refugee background integrate into Swiss life. Vocabulary, explanations and instructions must therefore be translated into different languages. The first edition of voCHabular is available in English, Arabic and Persian. We are currently working on translations into Amharic, Tigrinya, French and Turkish, and other languages are under consideration. The voCHabular website is also translated into the relevant languages. All of this is made possible by our fantastic translation team. The project is managed by a young interdisciplinary and intercultural team of over 60 volunteers. It includes various people with a refugee background and different residence statuses, who provide valuable input on the development of content, translations, the app and the ongoing development of voCHabular. VoCHabular is therefore itself an integration project. Other projects are published on UBS Helpetica.

Adequate living space is essential for social and economic inclusion and for escaping poverty.
