Botschaftergruppen Grundkompetenzen
General considerations
Short summary
Access to basic skills is characterised by a paradox: those who need it most tend to educate themselves the least. Only a small proportion of those affected take advantage of existing educational opportunities in the area of basic skills. One reason for this is that those affected often do not trust themselves to be able to learn these skills and sometimes are also not aware of the added value of a course.
Raising awareness of basic skills: A network of ambassadors is to be set up in all Swiss language regions with the aim of motivating those affected to attend a course. Those directly affected should use their voice to raise awareness among the general public about basic skills and provide them with information. They should also encourage others to take part in courses and thus improve their basic skills.

Citizen Science Projekt -The Psychological is Participatory
General considerations
Short summary
The perspectives of clients who are women and gender-expansive people have rarely been considered in the history of psychology. Disadvantaged women* in particular are often rarely heard, for example migrant women or single parents affected by poverty. This collaborative research project explores the life stories of women who seek assistance from counseling centers.
What practices encouraged greater openness and expression from learners? Respectful interaction, appreciation, competence orientation, informal learning atmosphere, self-reflection by teachers, creative methods. Moreover, it was essential that counselors and clients engage in separate workshops. This separation ensured ethical integrity, fostered open participation, prevented role confusion, and prioritized the emotional well-being of the clients.

My Story – Our Agenda
Form/Type/Methodology
General Consideration
Formal/informal/non-formal:
Educators have a very important role in enabling participants to express themselves and be listened to. Their responsibility is to create safe and trusting spaces that allow participants' fears to be overcome and self-esteem to grow. This is particularly important when working with vulnerable groups. Educators need to be able to balance between providing support when needed and stepping back to hand over responsibility to participants when they are ready.
Semi-formal. General courses (Allmän linje) are recognised by the formal education system and provide opportunities for further study at tertiary level, but are not heavily regulated by set curricula.

das kollektiv
General considerations
Short summary
The motto of the organisation is “transformation through education”. das kollektiv is a place for critical educational work. Counselling and cultural work are carried out in dialog or intertwined with it. We understand das kollektive as a place of exchange, criticism, resistance and collective design. In conjunction with and in addition to the courses, many processes and projects, discussions and actions take place here.
The following is a partial list of practices that a team of educators reflected on and thought was important to encourage openness of participants’ voices: Listen attentively and ensure understanding by asking clarifying questions and repeating concerns. Make representatives feel comfortable, avoiding criticism or lecturing them. Allow participants to speak first, and discuss concerns calmly as a team before providing feedback. (...)

Digitally Supported Educational Resources for Migrant Women
General considerations
Short summary
The "dig-mit" project emphasizes participatory and inclusive processes in its design and implementation. The content covers critical areas like labor rights, language learning, and digital literacy, reflecting the input of the target group and alignment with their needs for socio-economic empowerment and improved participation. This participatory approach is also evident in the adaptability of the resources to varied backgrounds and situations.
What actions tend to silence learners' voices? Language barriers were certainly present, though they were less of an issue for Spanish speakers, as most LEFÖ Learning Center staff and the social counselor at the LEFÖ counseling center speak Spanish. However, participants who speak Arabic, Dari, or less common languages like Somali and Bangla have very limited opportunities to express themselves in their first language.

fide I Français, Italiano, Deutsch in der Schweiz
General considerations
Short summary
fide means ‘French, Italian, German in Switzerland’ and refers to the Swiss programme for the promotion of language integration. The aim of fide is to guarantee high-quality and effective opportunities for non-native speakers who have immigrated to Switzerland to develop and demonstrate their language skills. The aim of the courses with the fide label is to enable immigrants to find their way linguistically in Swiss society. The fide teaching approach is characterised by principles such as a focus on everyday situations and on practical action and need.
fide is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is designed to enable migrants to handle specific situations in their daily lives. Both the fide funding and the assessment of language skills are centred on everyday life in Switzerland.

BigSibling Kollektiv - fighting racist police violence.
General considerations
Short summary
How things work in BigSibling Kollektiv is, the members get asked to do something and if their interests lie within and they have enough knowledge and information on it then the member or members get it done. There isn’t really a particular context because different workshops may demand for different contexts.
Actions that tend to silence learner’s voices: The fear of asking stupid questions, the fear of being offensive and the fear of not knowing and having answers. These fears silence learners from voicing out their minds and opinions because they fear they might be judged or not taken seriously.

Zürcher Lernstuben (Zurich Learning Center)
General considerations
Short summary
Lernstuben are an open learning and counselling service to promote basic skills (language, reading and writing, information and communication technologies ICT, and mathematics). Lernstuben are regionally established, low-threshold learning environments. They are designed as modern learning centres where digital, action-oriented and self-organised learning is encouraged in a cosy ‘café atmosphere’ and in warm rooms.
In Switzerland, almost 30% of the permanent resident population between the ages of 16 and 65 have low scores in at least one of the three areas of competence: reading, mathematics and problem-solving. These people often live in financially difficult circumstances and are more likely to lose their jobs during their lifetime due to a lack of qualifications. The Lernstuben programme aims to offer these individuals low-threshold access to learning opportunities and support for coping with everyday life.
