Living in Zurich Program for Newcomers

If you've just arrived in town (or even if you've been here a while), you should know about Living in Zurich, a long-running and excellent program for newcomers. Hosted by the not-for-profit American Women's Club of Zurich, it's comprehensive––covering everything from finding a doctor to opening a bank account––and it's taught in English.

Actually, I recommend this course every year, but this year I am even more enthusiastic about it because, unlike previous years, the program this year is scheduled over just three days. I don't know about you, but I am busy: I need time to study, to work volunteer, and once in damn while have some fun. This year, I might even be able to attend the whole thing.

You can find out more and register here.

Here's the invitation from the President of the AWCZ.

Join us for Living in Zurich, beginning on Wednesday, September 28, for an evening reception: the guest list includes Zurich community representatives and former LIZ participants. Interactive workshops and seminars follow on Friday, September 30, and Saturday, Oct 1. You’ll hear presentations by representatives from UBS, SBB, Zuricher Kantonal Polizei, My Switzerland, and Swiss Post, just to name a few.  Course registration includes the 400-page Living In Zurich Handbook.

Visit www.awczurich.org for more information or to register online.

With Kind Regards,

Gretchen Du Peza

AWCZ President
