Description
Forester Global Forum invites you to take part in a discussion of Swiss democratic culture in a multilingual environment. It will consist of a screening of 'Bon Schuur Ticino', and a discussion with Beat Schmid, Consul General of Switzerland in Chicago.
Learn more about the diverse Swiss culture and the ways it manifests in the country's political processes and identities. The event will begin with a short introduction by the Consul General and continue with the screening of 'Bon Schuur Ticino', showing a comedic alternative Switzerland, in which French was implemented as the sole official language. After the screening, guests will be invited to engage in a discussion about the film and the ways that having multiple official languages shape the Swiss society and culture. Swiss snacks and drinks will be provided.
