Every year, several thousand people from other municipalities around Geneva, other parts of Switzerland or abroad set up home in the City of Geneva. To welcome them to the city, the Executive Council invites them to an official reception, which will be held this year on Saturday 23 September. The event will be attended by Mr Alfonso Gomez, Mayor of Geneva.
The City of Geneva organises this welcome reception in order to help anyone setting up home here to familiarise themselves with the city and its authorities.
It is also an opportunity to inform each individual of the services provided by the public authorities in such diverse fields as culture, education, employment, leisure, sport, health, transport and security while highlighting issues including the fight against global warming, the reduction of inequalities and social cohesion.
Anyone who has lived in the City of Geneva since 2022 or has just set up home here is cordially invited to participate in this welcome ceremony together with their family. The people concerned by the event have received a personal invitation.
