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.

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.

Downloads
