Much of Neuchatel’s progressive attitude toward foreign residents is attributable to one man, Thomas Facchinetti, who started a multicultural cohesion service 20 years ago and has steadily built it up. Among his achievements is a Citizens’ Charter that is handed to every new resident to explain Swiss participatory democracy and lay out its rules.
纳沙泰尔州对外国居民的进步思想很大程度上应该归功于一个人，这个人的名字叫 托马斯·法基内蒂，这个人在二十年前首创并发展了多元文化融合服务。他的功绩之一是向每位新居民颁发一份《公民宪章》，详细说明瑞士的参与民主和相关规则。他的办公室还提供反种族主义服务，开设尽人皆知的廉价法语课，并就强迫婚姻和该不该戴头巾等问题分发宣传手册。
