ISSUE

Overcoming Culture Shock

The main challenge for expats in Valais is integrating into the local culture and building a social network. This can lead to feelings of homesickness, isolation, and stress. Cultural differences may also cause misunderstandings and difficulties in adapting to Swiss customs and traditions.

Possible Solutions

Cultural events

We organize cultural events and activities that showcase Swiss traditions and customs. For example, they may host a fondue night, where members can learn about and enjoy this Swiss dish. 

Language classes

As one of the cultural differences expats may face is language barriers, we offer language classes that help expats learn one of Switzerland’s official languages. This can help to better understand and communicate with locals, as well as appreciate Swiss culture. 

Cultural education

Our members provide information and resources on Swiss customs and traditions, helping expats understand and adapt to the local culture. For example, they can offer information on Swiss work-life balance, socializing norms, and personal relationships. 

Mentorship

Also we offer mentorship programs where expats can be paired with a local Swiss person who can help them navigate cultural differences and provide guidance on integration in Switzerland.
