Our Mission
We believe that every person, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to grow and learn.
Our mission is to provide refugees with the skills and network they need to succeed as artisan bakers, creating a brighter future for themselves and their families.
​
Our motto is Bread is gold, bread is dignity. We want to support refugees, restore their dignity as human beings, respect their values, and promote their growth here in Switzerland.
Who we are
The association was founded in November 2021 to help refugees enter the labour market in Switzerland by offering tailor-made training in baking and cooking workshops as well as mentoring programmes, especially for women and young people.
​​
Founded by 3 members, the association currently has 6 members. In partnership with other associations, we have organised events to support women in Afghanistan, two orientation workshops on baking with sourdough, and two information evenings for the pilot project.
Our team is made up of women with a migration background.
​
Grazia, the president, is Italian, has a bachelor's degree in Arabic language and Islamic studies and a master's degree as a mediator in the Middle East, Aresu is a Swiss woman of Afghan origin who is actively involved in integration work, while Ines is a German with a passion for bread and culture and Rania is Sirian and works as a translator for newly arrived refugees in Switzerland.​
