Remote Roots is planning to test another pilot in Spring 2026.

We connect young people who have recently arrived in Zurich with volunteer mentors who share a common interest or passion. These shared connections help make it easier for mentees to settle into life in Zurich.

The tandems meet twice a month for three months: whether for lunch, coffee or a cultural activity. Participation is free of charge for both mentors and mentees.

Are you interested in joining as a mentor or mentee?
We would love to hear from you. Please get in touch and we will share more information about the upcoming pilot.

We are delighted that “ici. here together.” supports Remote Roots in implementing the project New Roots. Together, we contribute to social cohesion in Switzerland.

“ici. here together.” is a programme by the Foundation for the Promotion of Language and Education in cooperation with Migros Commitment, the Swiss Migration Commission EKM, the Conference of Integration Delegates KID and the Swiss Conference of Specialist Units for Integration KoFI.
