Bern

ECAP Bern stands for education, integration and equal opportunities in the region. Originating from the FORMAZIONE association, it has been part of the ECAP Foundation since 2002 and has many years of experience in education and integration work.
Our courses are aimed primarily at migrants and are based on the latest pedagogical and methodological findings. They are tailored to the specific life situations of the participants and enable even those who are not accustomed to formal education to access further training.
In doing so, we create a learning environment characterised by appreciation, openness and mutual respect.
In addition to its location in Bern, ECAP Bern also runs a training centre in Biel.
