Labor Inclusion
Holistic workplace inclusion projects promote professional, personal and social skills. Since 2016, we have been offering young adults with and without disabilities the opportunity to expand their skills in a gastronomy and cultural business in Bern's Länggasse district with the Provisorium46. The Lions Club Bern honoured the innovative project approach with the Prix Lions in 2017 and Jonas Staub, founder of Blindspot, received the Swisscom Entrepreneurship Award in 2022 for the inclusive business model.
In 2020, we were able to expand the project with a second location in the Monbijou district: At Fabrique28, young people with and without disabilities work side by side, learning from professionals and from each other. In addition, we could provide further long term focus on inclusion with inclusive gastronomic pop-up projects, such as Bar8 or Hof17.
With our presence in visible, highly frequented locations, we make the added value of a diverse society understandable and tangible in an informal way. Raising awareness in society and transferring knowledge to employers in the primary labour market are therefore important parts of the concept. Social space orientation is also a focus of the inclusion project.
In the coming years, the project will be further developed under the name «Labor Inklusion». The property of Provisorium46 in the Länggasse district will be renovated and rebuilt to function as a barrier-free, innovative and social community oriented living and working concept.

Attention to detail, cosiness, with food, and drinks prepared with passion - that is the Provisorium46. Often described as a green oasis of well-being in the middle of Bern's Länggasse, we offer our guests an inclusive meeting place in our restaurant or on our sunny terrace. People with and without disabilities work side by side here in a self-determined manner. Our products are always regional, seasonal and preferably organic.

European championship & World Cup Bar
Our inclusive football pop-ups

With the pop-up, we focus on inclusion during the football tournaments and celebrate the world's most popular sport together.
