How can art be understood as a tool for understanding foreign cultures? Why do cultural values play an important role in threshold countries undergoing modernisation? What can art contribute to a country’s public image? Based on a case study about global culture, the «Chinese Contemporary Art Award» online course develops possible answers to these crucial questions.
Swiss painter and performer Jerome Liniger joins hands with international artists Christophe Averlan, Nicolas Jacquette and Katy Martin to go beyond their individual artistic forms to create a rich language and diverse meeting points. Joining the dialogue of different disciplines are also artists and philosophers from China, France, Iran and the US.

A concert organized by the Consulate general of Switzerland.It’s true, times are changing! But through Swiss singer Laurent Brunetti’s lyrics, carefully transformed into music by Mario Pacchioli, sleeping childhood memories might be awoken. Still every now and then during this recital - composed of only original compositions - some great names of the “chanson française” might come to our minds. The two artists invite us to revive the time when a performance had the power to touch us by only a piano, a voice and its honesty.

Movie
This year, the Embassy of Switzerland has selected the film "Tapis rouge" for the Francophone Film Encounters.The work of director Fred Bailiff plunges us into an unpleasing suburb of the city Lausanne, where a street educator tries to instill hope and motivation into a youth group.Without any judgement, this touching and intriguing film is focus on the issues of integration of foreign communities into a country like Switzerland. In the current context of large migration flows into Europe, the theme of integration bears more practical meanings than ever. The film exposes certain social realities and offers its own solution facilitating the social assimilation.
