President's Message
IGBO-Union Switzerland was built on a simple belief: that culture is not something you leave behind when you cross a border. It travels with you, grows with you, and — when shared with others — becomes a bridge between worlds. I am proud of every member who has made this community what it is today, and I look forward to welcoming many more into our family.

What Our Members Say

Being part of IGBO-Union Switzerland has given me a true sense of belonging. I found family here, people who understand where I come from and celebrate it with me.

Member since 2021 · Zurich

The cultural festivals are incredible. My Swiss colleagues are always amazed at the richness of our traditions. IGBO-Union makes it possible to share that pride.

Adaeze Nwosu

Member since 2022 · Basel

Through the language workshops I have reconnected with Igbo — something I feared I was losing. My children now greet their grandparents in our language.

The Next Generation

Growing up in Switzerland, I sometimes felt torn between two identities. IGBO-Union showed me I can be fully Swiss and fully Igbo at the same time.

The youth programs gave me confidence to speak Igbo publicly. I now perform at our annual festival every year — it's my favourite day of the year!
