“Here we are Switzerland” is a local chapter of “Here we are global”, a network of professional travelling partners seeking opportunities abroad and supporting each other in initiating personally meaningful lives on the move.

🇨🇭 The purpose of Here we are Switzerland is to provide spaces for professionals in transition in Switzerland, or recently settled, to collaborate on meaningful projects and grow professionally and personally. 🇨🇭

When people move to a new country or quit their last job, or sometimes both, they miss the interactions that the workplace offers. Socializing, collaborating, and doing something together, for many people is a great source of energy and motivation.
When in transition, it’s really important to find ways to nurture one’s energy and to maintain a sense of growth and personal development.

HWAS creates a safe place, far from any commercial solicitation, for people to meet and to feel encouraged to take an active role in a project (that we call initiatives) for a short or longer time. Additionally, displaying an activity on the CV contributes to making the profile attractive on the job market.
The HWAS core team, a small group of volunteers, provides a frame and coordinates the different activities of the community.

How we reach our purpose is framed by our strong beliefs that:
➛ We all seek meaning and a sense of purpose in life
➛ We strive to contribute and develop as human beings in a world where everything and everyone is interdependent on each other
➛ We are mindful about keeping a balance between priorities in life
