YPSA – what’s behind the four letters?

11.04.2025 – Max Groenveld, YPSA president

YPSA stands for the Youth Parliament of the Swiss Abroad. We are a team of 13 young, committed Swiss based all over the world who joined the YPSA to help young Swiss Abroad communicate with each other across the globe. We do this by organising events, building an online presence and interacting with other international Swiss platforms.

In the past, we have run online events with, for example, educationsuisse to spread information on how to pursue an education in Switzerland. We have participated in a debate on biodiversity hosted by SWI swissinfo.ch. We have also attended the OSA’s Congress of the Swiss Abroad to represent the interests of young Swiss Abroad.

We have many exciting projects and events coming up this year. Our “Moving to Switzerland” webinar took place in March, and we are planning a dialogue event involving a representative of the Swiss Guard at the Vatican. Furthermore, we are looking to hold more informal sessions to touch base with young Swiss around the world.
