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.

    Insights from the Uni4Refugees Event On February 13, 2025, a public event was held at the University of Bern
    for the Uni4Refugees (U4R) program, a project led by the University of
    Zurich and the University of Geneva. Over the past four years, U4R has
    been dedicated to supporting refugee students in accessing higher
    education in Switzerland. The event provided an opportunity to reflect on achievements, developments,
    and sustainable outcomes. Highlights included a welcome speech by
    Vice-Rector Heike Mayer (University of Bern) and a presentation by Dr.
    Naser Morina (University of Zurich) on research findings from the
    START!Study Program. The research outlined key challenges faced by
    refugee students, such as language barriers, financial constraints, and
    mental health struggles. It also emphasized the positive impact of
    mentoring programs, psychological support, and strong institutional
    commitment in fostering academic success. The findings reinforced the importance of long-term support structures that
    extend beyond university admission, ensuring meaningful integration
    into academic life. It was a pleasure to take part in this exciting event - many thanks to the organizers! --
    Einblicke in die Uni4Refugees-Veranstaltung Am 13. Februar 2025 fand an der Universität Bern eine öffentliche
    Veranstaltung zum Uni4Refugees (U4R)-Programm statt, einem Projekt der
    Universität Zürich und der Universität Genf. In den vergangenen vier
    Jahren hat sich U4R dafür eingesetzt, geflüchtete Studierende beim
    Zugang zu Hochschulbildung in der Schweiz zu unterstützen. Die Veranstaltung bot eine Gelegenheit, Errungenschaften, Entwicklungen und
    nachhaltige Ergebnisse zu reflektieren. Zu den Höhepunkten zählten die
    Begrüssungsrede von Vize-Rektorin Heike Mayer (Universität Bern) sowie
    die Präsentation von Dr. Naser Morina (Universität Zürich) zu den
    Forschungsergebnissen des START!Study-Programms. Die Forschung hob
    zentrale Herausforderungen für geflüchtete Studierende hervor, darunter
    Sprachbarrieren, finanzielle Einschränkungen und psychische Belastungen.
    Gleichzeitig wurde die bedeutende Rolle von Mentoring-Programmen,
    psychologischer Unterstützung und starkem institutionellem Engagement
    für den akademischen Erfolg betont. Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit langfristiger
    Unterstützungsstrukturen, die über die Zulassung hinausgehen und eine
    echte Integration in das akademische Leben ermöglichen. Es war uns eine Freude an dieser spannenden Veranstaltung teilzunehmen - vielen Dank den Organisatoren!
