The Haus der Religionen

The Haus der Religionen - Dialog der Kulturen in Bern is a unique place of encounter, dialogue, and coexistence. Eight religious communities work together for interreligious and intercultural exchange under one roof.

• You coordinate projects with internal and external partners and support group visits and larger events.
• You take on 8-10 Saturday shifts per year and are occasionally available for evening and weekend assignments.
