Seminars

We run seminars and workshops covering a wide range of topics, from settling into life in Switzerland to understanding and using German more effectively. Sessions take place at our premises or directly within companies, associations and clubs (reference list available on request).

Below you’ll find an overview of upcoming dates, and if you have something specific in mind, we’re happy to design a programme around your needs.

Some seminars focus on helping you navigate everyday life in Switzerland, from how systems work to what to expect in daily interactions. Others are centred on German itself, including our in-house grammar materials, developed to make learning clearer, more structured and easier to apply in practice.

Seminars are free to attend!
