ECHO– Information on Switzerland

What is federalism? Who will help me if I fall ill? How and why do I pay taxes? In short: How does Switzerland work? ECHO – the richly illustrated and updated 38-page civics brochure put out by HEKS/EPER Eastern Switzerland provides answers. This guide for foreign-language speakers is available in German, French and Italian.

Absence
Christmas holidays

We are on Christmas holidays from 20.12.2024 to 06.01.2025. Orders placed by 19.12.2024 at 10.00 a.m. will still be processed before Christmas.

We wish you a wonderful festive season and a good start to the New Year.

Titled ECHO, the civics brochure offers guidance by setting out basic information about our country: it covers democracy, history, rights and duties, social security, work and education. Immigrants can become integrated more easily when they possess such knowledge. But ECHO offers still more: the colourful brochure is an incitement to delve deeper into your new place of residence, Switzerland.
 
ECHO is equally suitable for self-taught learning and for teaching in an integration or language course. This teaching aid is clearly and simply written and rich in illustrations and informative graphics.
