A new inclusive, multi-talented agency has just been set up in Nyon, which delivers innovative and creative communication solutions for clients who are concerned about their corporate social responsibility.

Called Sweet Rebels, the new communications agency integrates the multi-faceted talents of mentally-handicapped people as well as art and design students and professional artistic directors to provide a wide range of imaginative solutions for its clients. The agency currently operates as a sub-division of the advertising agency, Twist SA, which has recently moved premises within Nyon to accommodate the special needs of the new sub-agency.

Isabel Montserrat, Director of Sweet Rebels, met knowitall.ch in March to explain more about the agency, and how it evolved. She said,

“Before Sweet Rebels was set up, I was studying in Barcelona for a Masters in Corporate Social Responsibility, when I came across the work of a studio called “La Casa de Carlota”. It was truly inspirational what they were doing, employing handicapped people for their unique qualities and talents rather than focusing on the things that they can’t do. It was evident that with the right direction, the projects they were working on had real commercial value and I was keen to try something similar when I returned to Switzerland.”

10% discount for knowitall.ch readers on all translations booked before end of June 2016

Given the highly international environment that we live and work in, it is perhaps surprising that we don’t get more recommendations for translation companies from our readers. Although many are multilingual, speaking 2 or 3 different languages fluently, there can be few readers who have the level of expertise required to provide the perfect translation of a complex legal contract, financial agreement or medical document.

So we were pleased to receive at Know-it-all passport recently a very positive recommendation for a translation agency that was set up in Switzerland at the beginning of last year.  Called SwissTranslate, the agency offers the complete range of linguistic solutions for a number of highly specialised business sectors including law, communications and marketing, finance, luxury goods, healthcare, international organizations, and technology.

With its main office in Geneva, SwissTranslate works with a dedicated team of senior translators who have experience in the translation of contracts, resumes, diplomas, corporate communications, presentations, website content, status, administration documents and regulatory reports, indeed just about every possible use of the written word that you can imagine!

Gland-based Bright Green Learning has just announced the launch of a new capacity development programme for staff of organizations with sustainable development mandates, specifically professionals who need to convene and facilitate collaborative processes.

The Bright Green Learning Academy is a Geneva-based programme, whose principle trainers already work with a number of the UN organizations as well as NGOs in the Geneva area and globally.  During 2015, Bright Green Learning worked close to home and far afield on a broad range of issues including water and oceans, whale conservation, the green economy, aluminium stewardship and biomaterials, and humanitarian aid, amongst many others.

According to Bright Green Learning founder, Gillian Martin Mehers, “We've been strategic planning, partnership building, developing teams, capturing and sharing learning, and much more. It has been a great pleasure to work with so many committed and talented people working towards social and environmental sustainability.  I am now delighted to announce that in 2016, with my colleague Lizzie Crudgington, we will launch the Bright Green Learning Academy!”
