Integres was established in summer 2004 as a centre of expertise for matters relating to integration. The Specialist Integration Department had gained experience long before this though. As early as 1972, a broad coalition of representatives from civil society, business and politics founded the Schaffhausen Swiss-Foreigners Contact Centre with the aim of supporting integration of the foreign population and promoting cultural dialogue. Over the intervening years the contact centre provided one of the most important links between the migrant population and their new home. Help often focused on daily life; those looking for advice were helped to fill out official forms correctly, for example, or to make a doctor’s appointment. Nowadays Integres still provides advice, but acts primarily as a hub and is committed, both structurally and conceptually, to successful integration.
