HEKS Integration Projects (HIP)

Only by understanding a country’s language can one truly feel at home there. Migrants in Switzerland with little understanding of our national languages often find it difficult to get their bearings and to become integrated into society. A lack of proficiency in a national language means that they have virtually no involvement in public life and are unable, for example, to attend education and training courses or to find gainful employment. In particular, access to the acquisition of language and personal skills for people who are unaccustomed to study must be adapted to their individual requirements.
