Our focus
Following the principle of “helping people to help themselves”, we promote the integration process of people with a migration background with our programs, projects and activities. The ald has five programmatic departments:
- Information and advice center for integration and migration-specific topics
- German courses from A 1.1 – B1.1 incl. Childcare; language examinations (fide) and preparatory courses; civics courses for naturalization; preparation for a bridging course; intercultural communication, etc.
- Targeted and customized coaching in the area of work integration
- Early language support for toddlers in playgroups at community level by language teachers
- Intercultural interpreting and written translations in over 60 languages
With our programs, projects and activities, we operate within the framework of the Cantonal Integration Program (KIP), which is based on 3 pillars: Information and advice, education and work, and understanding and social integration. This is reflected in the service agreements that the canton has concluded with the ald. The ald is also financed by services from municipalities, personal contributions, membership fees and donations.
The ald is mainly active in the canton of Baselland and also offers services in and for the region of north-western Switzerland. The ald is based in Pratteln.
