Summer program of the hosting association MAZAY

In the summer of 2025, MAZAY will once again be the host in the Association Kitchen. During the Bern school holidays (July 7 to August 10), the association, in collaboration with the Bern Historical Museum and other partners, will organize various events for migrants, museum visitors, people from the neighborhood, and anyone interested.

The association MAZAY, based in Bern, was founded in 2018. With over 100 volunteer members, it plays an important role in the social and professional integration of asylum seekers, temporarily admitted persons, and refugees through their commitment to the association.
