(UK) With the wonderful memories of this year’s summer camp still fresh in our minds, we at the Youth Service of the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) are now preparing the events for the coming year. This much is already clear: we are delighted to announce that holiday camps will once again be held in Switzerland, together with the Online Congress, in collaboration with the Youth Parliament of the Swiss Abroad (YPSA). Holiday camps for 2023 A wealth of experiences, adventures and fun, combined with the opportunity to meet people your own age from different continents, are guaranteed. “It was an amazing experience; I would have loved to stay longer” and “I made plenty of friends and really appreciated the opportunity to discover Switzerland” - these are only some of the messages we have received from participants. We are looking forward to seeing many new and familiar faces over the coming year. You can find all information about our events online: revue.link/camps23. Registration is open online from 14.00 Swiss time Opportunities for Swiss Abroad aged 15 and over for 2023 Voluntary donations to help support the printed version of “Swiss Review” This edition of “Swiss Review” marks our continuing commitment to the printed version: we had plenty to tell you, so – in our estimation – we took all the material and turned it into a presentable edition worth reading. We are also honouring the sustained high interest that our readers have been showing in having a printed “Swiss Review”. For many Swiss Abroad, this magazine has become a treasured, tangible link to Switzerland. Around 325,000 readers currently subscribe to the paper version of “Swiss Review”. This does not mean that all is well with the “Review”, though – far from it. The war in Ukraine is driving up paper prices and energy costs even further. Swiss printing houses have recently had to raise their prices massively. Since the ”Swiss Review” has no additional financial resources, this is becoming a serious burden. In view of this, please note again that you can pay a voluntary subscription to help fund the print edition of “Swiss Review”. Your kind support will allow us to continue publishing on paper for the foreseeable future.
