Intercultural Weekends
Program Overview
Get involved – in a short, meaningful way, together with others!
Would you like to get involved in an environmental, community or solidarity project – but only have a weekend to spare? Are you based in Switzerland? Our intercultural weekends are short eventful volunteering projects (2-3 days) where you work together with others on community-based projects. In nature, with commitment and open to everyone.
The camps are open to people with and without a refugee background aged 16 and over (sometimes 18+) and are often family-friendly – so kids are welcome too! Together we create encounters, break down prejudices and actively work towards a sustainable future.
💡 An ideal place to get a first idea of volunteering. Here you can get a taste of what it’s like to volunteer in an SCI project, meet new people and experience the spirit and values of SCI Switzerland first-hand.
