Become part of the jury for “ici. here together.”

About “ici. here together.”

Migros Commitment’s support programme “ici. here together.” provides funding and professional advice to local and regional integration projects. These projects bring people with diverse cultural and linguistic experiences together, enabling them to actively participate in everyday life in Switzerland. “ici. here together.” is supported by the Foundation for Language and Education Promotion (SSUB) and Migros Commitment.
The programme is also supported by partner organisations such as the Swiss Conference of Integration Offices (KoFI), the Federal Commission for Migration (EKM), and the Conference of Cantonal, Communal, and Regional Integration Delegates (KID). Representatives from these organisations are part of the “ici. here together.” jury and have so far contributed to selecting projects for funding cycles I and II, as well as “Mini-Grants.”

We are now looking for 2 to 3 new jury members to expand the current jury. This will ensure that new voices and perspectives from our target groups are included in the funding decisions. The jury must represent all language regions in Switzerland.
