The Fifth Switzerland puzzle: 1/800 000

You know how it works: before you are many small puzzle pieces, with no piece being identical to the other – and an identifiable picture gradually emerges. Applied to the Swiss Abroad, you could say: the “Fifth Switzerland” is also a colourful, varied and multilingual puzzle, with well over 800,000 pieces.

With its “The Fifth Switzerland puzzle: 1/800 000” series, “Swiss Review” is now putting together a snapshot of this immense puzzle. We use short interviews with Swiss Abroad as puzzle pieces. Each piece is a greeting from another part of the world; each face is a part of what makes the “Fifth Switzerland”.

The pieces are being gathered and presented in a special “Swiss Review” dossier on the “Fifth Switzerland” puzzle: www.revue.link/puzzle3. The regional editorial teams are also publishing selected pieces on their own pages. 

You will find these pages in the middle of your “Review” – or in “News from your Region”, if you read the “Review” online. Would you like to join in and answer some interview questions? If so, you should first contact the editorial team for your region.
