History

Geneva Branch of Ukrainian Society in Switzerland was created in September 2016 as a need to have an NGO which unites Ukrainian expats in Geneva canton. Every month more and more families immigrate because of job reasons, and we are encouraged to help Ukrainians integrate to the life in Switzerland. Our projects are described in details in the Projects category.

While its lineage dates back to the beginning of the century, the Ukrainian Society in Switzerland was formally established in 1945 by resident Ukrainians as well as refugees and students, many of whom were unable to leave Switzerland after the Second World War. Its purpose was to: provide a venue for contact between Ukrainians residing throughout Switzerland, organize social events, maintain and preserve Ukrainian culture in the Diaspora, inform about Ukrainian issues, and officially represent its members in the public sphere.
