You, you and your family

“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. “Maya Angelou

This is why Le Café Vivant has elaborated a social and cultural integration program for you.

Arriving in a foreign country where culture, social marks and codes, and language are different can overwhelm the strongest personality. Relocating to a new country, leaving your familiar social environment and getting accustomed to another society, coping with a new language and culture can take an enormous amount of energy. Then, there is much to be done practically, moving country, moving house, moving schools, settling you and your family down, so much so that the essentials of human needs can be overlooked.

After the euphoric and exciting "touristic" feeling of relocating to Switzerland, the need of covering the social and cultural aspect of you awakens. It is our wish to make it easier, bringing you opportunities of laughter, fun and sharing, with the emphasis on building social contact and belonging.

Before you consider undertaking a fulfilling activity within your new country of residence, it is crucial that you get accustomed with the social and cultural marks and codes of this new society. Le Café vivant helps you in positioning yourself within your new cultural and social environment, knowing your new world, for you to understand and be understood, leading you to a full awareness of what you can do and bring to this society, in coherence with your competences, qualities, values and human capacities.

Le Café Vivant offers to accompany you in your discovery of your new environment, with a human presence, fun, lively activities. We are your social and cultural reference. We bring relief and solutions to the language barrier, avoiding isolation by promoting contacts, encounters and networking, within the international and local society, all together.

Being expatriate to French Switzerland can be a positive and fulfilling experience!
