University Internship Participation 80 - 100%

Diversity is a great strength of the Canton of Zurich. Our democracy thrives on the active involvement of many people and groups in public life. The Participation Coordination Office within the Directorate of Justice and Home Affairs promotes and strengthens the participation of as many population groups as possible in social life and politics. The Participation Coordination Office is part of the Statistical Office of the Canton of Zurich.

The Coordination Office promotes political participation and strengthens the democratic competencies of the population. It also advocates for social participation and protection against discrimination. Sensitisation, communication, and the establishment of networks within the cantonal administration and with external partner organisations are central factors.
