Textile crafts are present in all cultures. At Social Fabric, it is the common thread that binds everyone and everything together. Here are a few facts about our community:
— From Thursday to Sunday, more than 40 people use the atelier room to work on their sewing projects and socialize over their shared hobby.
— Community has a core function in our mission of fostering inclusion: we provide a space where people can meet, form bonds, and combat social isolation.
— Anyone can join the community. We offer annual and 6-month memberships. For people with refugee backgrounds, we host an Open Sewing Course free of charge.
— Our community is very diverse, from Swiss nationals to foreigners. We come from over 160 nationalities, and around half of us have a refugee background.
— Each year, a group of volunteers contributes more than 2,500 hours to community care. 💕
— Sewing has a surprising effect on mental health. People in our community often refer to it as their meditation or “anti-stress.”
