VOLUNTEERING FOR PEACE

 

SCI Switzerland is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting peace, understanding and intercultural exchange. SCI Switzerland organises volunteer projects in social, environmental and cultural projects in Switzerland and places volunteers in projects around the world.

We also invest in non-formal education – critical, intersectional, anti-racist and inclusive.

In this way, we have been contributing to peace in the broadest sense for over 100 years: to social justice, sustainable development, equality, solidarity and non-violent conflict resolution. SCI Switzerland is part of the international network Service Civil International (SCI).
