presidium
22, political science and philosophy student, university of zurich "As a passive member, Switzerland suffers a significant sovereignty deficit. By entering the European Union, Swiss citizens would gain the right to vote on European affairs and would be able to participate actively in the development of Europe." | ||
| 22, international affairs student, university of geneva "As a confident country with an innovative youth, Switzerland should engage more actively in Europe and co-shape the future of our continent." |

"Despite the fact that the EU is facing major internal challenges at the moment, Switzerland is obliged to reassess its situation in Europe. Switzerland cannot avoid a serious debate on Europe."
25, european affairs student, university of fribourg
"In favour of a factual and forward-looking debate on Europe in Switzerland! Against blinkers thinking and collective phobias caused by "mass immigration propaganda"! In favour of a critical but constructive discussion on Europe. For that purpose, yes offers an ideal platform."
23, law student, university of lucerne and neuchâtel
"Whether one is in favour or against an EU accession at the moment, it is primarily important that the political debate is faire and based on facts rather than scare tactics. Within yes, I can champion an unbiased dialog."
27, history and european affairs student, university of fribourg
"Youth need information. Only those who know Switzerland and the EU, may also discuss fact-based on the EU-Swiss relation."
25, law student, university of fribourg
"Nowadays, the interconnection of the entire world system requires global action in area of common concern (ie. migration or environment), especially on regional level. As a consequence, I consider it necessary that Switzerland engages actively with its European partners and does not isolate itself."

"Switzerland's role within the EU affects us all. But opinion making lacking in-depth information is an absolute no-go.Yes informs and speaks up for more Europe!"
