Program SwissCommunity Days
What the Fifth Switzerland contributes to Switzerland
Thousands of life stories from all over the world. Voices of Swiss abroad who view Switzerland from a distance and are committed to it with conviction. A variety of experiences, visions and bridges between countries and cultures. The Fifth Switzerland - its citizens, its delegates - brings all of this to the table.
The Council of the Swiss Abroad embodies precisely this diversity. The SwissCommunity Days 2025 are dedicated to all those who keep this representation alive in a changing world between local roots and close ties to home.
