First point of contact for refugees and migrants in Bern
Café Mazay is the first point of contact for refugees and migrants in Bern. More than that, it is a meeting place where people with and without a history of migration come together. There are no fixed office hours here, only a lively community that helps and strengthens each other. Anyone who needs support will find a sympathetic ear and receive direct help. The Mazay Association favours diversity in the team: everyone can actively contribute and collaborate. The tasks in the café are adapted to the person's abilities: no perfect knowledge of German is required. For example, two people share the coordination of tutoring and complement each other.
