DPCW_1038 : Get Together with Refugees from all backgrounds

On October 22, a seminar titled Get Together was held in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, co-hosted by IPYG Switzerland and House of Culture, which is an institution of the Cantonal Social Welfare Office of Schaffhausen. Since September last year, IPYG has been conducting seminars with Switzerland’s “House of Culture” for peaceful co-existence between Swiss locals and refugees, protection of human rights of refugees, and cooperation in establishing a sustainable future foundation for refugees. The employees of the House of Culture, local residents, and refugees living in Switzerland have participated in these events. This time, refugees from nine different countries attended the event, and many Ukrainian refugees participated.

According to the UNHCR, as of May 2022, the number of displaced people around the world increased to more than 100 million. In particular, more than 7.78 million Ukrainian refugees (over 14.85 million cumulative) are counted due to the war between Ukraine and Russia. Switzerland took in more than 66,000 Ukrainian refugees.

 

The IPYG Switzerland branch said, “In order to build mutual understanding among refugees from different ethnicities as well as Swiss locals we organised a cultural exchange, to show how we all have the desire for peace and the hope to end all wars including the Russia-Ukraine war as soon as possible.”
