Association 360 provides LGBTQ+ people in Geneva with information, support and help finding relevant groups and services. Its activities include legal advice and groups for meeting others and sharing support.[9]
Overview
Association 360 has worked since 1998 for recognition of sexual and gender diversity and people's freedom to define themselves. Its work for LGBTQ people's legal and social equality includes access to health, education, housing and employment.[1]
The general reception service opens Monday to Friday, 10 am to 6 pm. It offers listening, information and referrals within the association or to other organisations and services. LGBTQ+ people experiencing hardship can use a desk with a computer, IP telephone and copier/scanner for administrative tasks or contact with loved ones.[9]
Activities
The Trans* group offers meetings, discussion and support for transgender, genderqueer, non-binary, agender, intersex and transsexual people, and travesti people. The Familles LGBTQ+ group supports existing and prospective rainbow families through information, discussion and opportunities to share experiences.[9]
Tamalou is aimed particularly at older gay men, while its group page welcomes everyone. It holds monthly meetings and Tuesday drinks in Geneva. Other activities include cinema trips, meals, performances and picnics. Mutual support includes visits and help at home when a member is in hospital or recovering.[9][2]
Babayagas welcomes lesbians aged 50 and over, meeting on the third Thursday of each month from 7 pm. Activities include picnics, pétanque, shared buffets and museum visits. Meetings usually take place at Association 360, although the venue can change with the programme.[4]
BiPan+ provides listening, exchange and support for people concerned with bisexuality and pansexuality. It lists meetings on the third Friday of the month, outings, games evenings, a telephone support service and individual conversations.[3]
Participation and support
The international group offers information for LGBTIQ+ newcomers and monthly dinners where participants bring food to share. Questions about the group can be sent to LGBTIQ.intl@gmail.com.[6]
Mosaïk is for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer people with physical, intellectual or sensory disabilities, and neurodivergent people. Its meetings are currently suspended while the association seeks additional support to restart them. The listed contact is Marjorie Horta at marjorie@association360.ch.[5]
The seniors project promotes inclusive practices in public bodies, institutions and associations. It supports community activities to address older LGBT people's isolation and increase their visibility in society. Information is available through seniors@association360.ch.[7]
