FemmesTISCHE WITH
MIGRANTS 1
- The female moderator belongs to the same
ethnic group and is an important role model for
successful integration.
- At FemmesTISCHE migrants get information on
German language courses, on the Swiss
education, the social system and so forth...
- Many moderators grow into their new roles, e.g.,
as culture referents or start an education
FemmesTISCHE WITH
MIGRANTS 2
- FemmesTISCHE is personal: at least some of
the participants are acquaintances. There are 6
to 10 women, who discuss topics in a private
setting. Everybody’s opinion is important, all the
women dare to say something.
- The hostess gets a small compensation for her
hospitality, the family budget is under no strain.
LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF
INHIBITION
- The female moderator is no expert, her job is to
be in charge of the discussion.
- FemmesTISCHE „goes out to the participants“:
the moderator looks for a hostess. The hostess
looks for guests.
- participants usually do not have to travel far: in
the district, in the region.
- Participation at FemmesTISCH is free of charge.
