🌍What are we?

International Community Dübendorf (ICD) is a local network for women to meet, connect, share, and help each other.

We bring together women living and working in Dübendorf, Zürich, and the surrounding area who have something to share — knowledge, professional experience, skills, contacts, ideas or simply the willingness to help.

ICD will begin as a pilot project on November 10th, 2026, with an opening event hosted by Verein für Soziale Bildung, Im Schossacher 17, 8600 Dübendorf. Participants will then have the opportunity to meet regularly in person and online.

🫶Who are we targeting?

We are open to everybody looking for a support community.

We welcome international professionals, whether currently active, between roles or returning to work, as well as people looking for new roles, changing or restarting their careers, entrepreneurs starting or growing their businesses, and everyone working below their qualifications.

We bring together international professionals who have something to share and something they would like to find.

The community is open and inclusive. Men who are willing to contribute are also welcome.

Everyone has something to offer. Everyone can ask for something.
