“So close, so ufgschtellt, so fine, so tame, so Switzerland” is the motto of the “Pop-up House of Switzerland”.

A varied program is offered with workshops, panel discussions, exhibitions, readings and much more on the topics of sustainability and innovation. Participation is possible on site and in some cases via livestream.

At the same time, an out-of-home campaign by Switzerland Tourism is also promoting Switzerland as an authentic summer holiday destination in the Alpine region and in the cities. (htr / npa)
