SEET Support Education, Empower Together.

Education is key to integration, to perspectives, to understanding, to self-realisation and much more. That's why education is so fundamental - and should be accessible to everyone. This is what the association SEET works for: we offer a study support programme for refugees.

As part of this, we support refugees in (re)starting their studies in Switzerland by providing them with professional mentoring, a broad network, career workshops and situational financial support.

Thus, SEET advocates for the untouchable right to education and at the same time promotes sustainable integration and self-determination.
