The "cafés solidaires" or taste for others, Jennifer Ng Chin Yue - Hospice général, February 24, 2026 (link to article)

After the Christmas break and the February exam session, students have returned to class. UniTime, the cafeteria at Uni Mail, buzzes with the sound of conversation on this back-to-school Wednesday. While some tap away at their laptops with headphones on, others, noticeably more numerous, are gathered around large tables, engaged in lively discussions. No need to be a fortune teller to understand that these are the participants of the "café solidaires".

Around twenty pairs have been formed by AMIC, an association of intercultural mediators. They are popular with participants from migrant backgrounds, but there is a shortage of mentors.

The University of Geneva is involved in the integration of migrants through several institutional programmes. But less formal projects are also emerging, initiated by the students themselves. This is the case with Cafés Solidaires, informal meetings between migrants and students.
