«We are committed to helping build a society where people from different cultures live together and which is based on mutual respect, a sense of shared responsibility, cooperation and fundamental democratic rights.» From K5’s mission statement
«In the World Wide Women course, I was able to improve my German and boost my self-confidence. I also received a lot of important information about becoming integrated into the Swiss job market. The MinQ mentoring programme was helpful as well: my mentor talked to me about my job prospects, helped me write job applications and practised job interviews with me. In August 2016, I got a job as a project coordinator at a large company. My co-workers are surprised at how quickly and easily I have settled in.» Participant in the WWW course
Never give up and stay strong. Two WWW-Participants share their success story: Interviews
In the words of our managing director Beatrice Brunner: "In difficult times, it is particularly important that the K5, as an educational institution and meeting place, creates a safe haven where people can concentrate on learning and make new contacts so that they arrive and can take their lives in their new home into their own hands in a dignified manner. This has been our commitment in the past and remains in future.
In 2022 and, among other things, we opened our meeting café as a place for social participation. A particularly large number of people from Ukraine found their way to us. In order to meet the additional demand, we quickly set up an additional course format."
