Founded in 2007, The Livinin Association is a not for profit organisation whose main purpose is to help international residents integrate in local society. This is achieved online media platforms and in press format as well as through socially responsible projects being led through the LiLi Centre (Community Centre in Lucerne). In 2013, Charlie Hartmann became the Managing Director of Living in Luzern. Under her leadership The Livingin Association readership has grown and in June 2016 the LiLi Centre was opened. This community centre is now the physical home of Livingin and other organisations and runs several outreach and integration projects, including the Job Integration For Foreigners (J.I.F.F.) which helps international residents with the work issues.
