Summary:

The Federal Commission on Migration FCM is an extra parliamentary commission acting in an advisory capacity to the Swiss Federal Council (see below). With its programme «Citoyenneté: mitreden, mitgestalten, mitentscheiden» the FCM promotes a large number of initiatives and activities in the field of democracy, participation and harmonious cohabitation. The FCM sees political participation as an important factor of integration. Through its programme the FCM supports locally adapted initiatives:
- that consider migrants as partners.
- that invite people concerned to become involved.
- that aim to widen the possibilities for political participation.
- that offer opportunities to have a say, to co-create and to co-decide.
- that open new possibilities to shape political decision-shaping and -making processes.
- that contribute to a sustainable social development.

From the FCM’s perspective the cultural, societal and political visibility and representation of migrants is to be considered as both a key to integration and an indicator of a vital democracy.
