foraus – Swiss Forum on Foreign Policy ‒ Foraus
Zurich, Switzerland

foraus is a participatory and non-partisan think tank focusing on foreign policy in Switzerland. It is a grassroots community of young people who aim to shape how foreign policy is made and enable new voices to grow, both domestically and internationally. It publishes evidence-based, high-quality content with constructive policy recommendations, organises thought-provoking events and develops innovative tools for engagement and impact - all with the aim of addressing global challenges. It also provides a forum where members can access Swiss foreign policy debates outside the 'traditional' and 'constrictive' frameworks of party politics and academia.
