About Visualis Education and Our Mission

Cultivating Creativity, Fostering Change
Founded right here in the vibrant city of Zurich, Visualis Education was born from a shared passion for the visual arts and a deep-seated belief in their potential to shape perspectives and inspire action. Our journey began with a small group of local artists and educators who saw a need for accessible, high-quality creative training.
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive photography and videography education, catering to everyone from absolute beginners picking up a camera for the first time to seasoned creators looking to refine their craft. Our courses are designed not just to teach technical skills, but to unlock each student's unique artistic voice and empower them to tell compelling stories.
Beyond the classroom, Visualis Education is profoundly committed to using our platform and resources for social good. We believe that creativity is a powerful catalyst for positive change, capable of raising awareness, sparking empathy, and driving meaningful impact within communities.
This commitment is at the heart of our partnership with Verein Jugend-Impuls Zürich, a local non-profit doing incredible work with underprivileged youth. We see our educational mission as intrinsically linked to their social mission.
Our values are rooted in accessibility, quality education, community engagement, and social responsibility. We strive to create an inclusive learning environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered.
Joining Visualis Education means becoming part of a community that values artistic excellence alongside social contribution. You learn valuable, sought-after skills while simultaneously investing in the future of young people in our city. It's a connection that gives your creative journey a deeper purpose and allows you to make a tangible difference with every lesson learned.
The Cause We Support

Empowering Youth Through Creative Expression in Zurich
We have proudly partnered with Verein Jugend-Impuls Zürich, a dedicated non-profit organization working tirelessly to provide support and opportunities for underprivileged youth across our city. Their core mission is to address the lack of access to enriching educational and recreational activities that can foster personal growth, build confidence, and open doors to future possibilities for young individuals facing challenging circumstances.
Verein Jugend-Impuls Zürich focuses on creating safe spaces and delivering impactful programs, including mentorship, academic support, and crucially, access to creative and artistic workshops. They believe, as we do, that providing young people with tools for self-expression can be transformative, helping them navigate difficulties and discover their potential.
We chose this cause because we see a direct synergy between the power of visual arts education and the mission of Jugend-Impuls. We believe that providing these young people with skills in photography and videography can give them a powerful voice, a means to tell their own stories, document their experiences, and connect with the world in a meaningful way. It offers them a creative outlet and equips them with valuable skills that can be personally fulfilling and potentially open up educational or career paths.

Did you know that many young people in Zurich still face significant barriers to accessing quality extracurricular activities that can build crucial life skills and confidence? Verein Jugend-Impuls Zürich works to close this gap, reaching hundreds of youth each year.
