Who or what is YPSA?

18.09.2019 – Marc Lettau

YPSA stands for Youth Parliament of the Swiss Abroad. It is not a parliament in the traditional sense, but rather a platform for young Swiss Abroad. YPSA President Roberto Landolina provides an insight into the aims and activities of the youth parliament in an article available at www.revue.ch. He also reveals the highlights of May’s YPSA event in Italy. Landolina’s account shows what young people can expect from such occasions: “It was great to see people working together and developing ideas, despite not knowing each other. We hope they made the most of this chance to learn and develop their team-working skills.”
