Communities by city
Where to meet people from Cameroon in Switzerland
No community for people from Cameroon exists in Switzerland on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Compatri follows cities such as Zurich, Genève, and Lausanne, and each one can host its community.
Other diasporas in Switzerland
There, the largest diasporas also come from Germany, Italy, Portugal, France, and Turkey, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the Cameroon community in Switzerland
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Cameroon National Day in Switzerland
Every May 20, the national day brings the Cameroon diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
