Programme
SeitenWechsel is a unique training programme that provides an opportunity for personal development and offers an insight into the world of social institutions. Participants complete a week-long work placement at a social institution, such as an addiction clinic, a psychiatric clinic or a workplace for people with disabilities. This shift in perspective is a catalyst for personal growth, with a focus on empathy, inclusion, resilience and dealing with change. Each individual work placement is an opportunity to gain life experience in a real-life setting that will have a lasting impact. 3’800 managers from countless businesses have benefited from a SeitenWechsel role exchange so far.
