Welcome to Switzerland! The country where the Waschtag is sacred and the Altpapier neatly bundled. Where the natives always carry their Halbtax and never disclose their salary. But why are Swiss people so "bünzlig"? Or are they less odd than their image?  

Join us for BASEL DEBATES #5, a frank discussion on Swiss peculiarities and how to deal with them. Together with our guests Güzin Kar (author and film director), Moritz Ege (anthropologist), Michelle Kalt (comedian) and Brigitta Bende (psychiatrist), we will discuss the weird and not-so-weird sides of Switzerland. Whether you're a local, expat or inbetweener: let's open our minds and share our experiences. In other words, let's be Unswiss.

BASEL DEBATES is an innovative series of debates asking pointed questions at the interface between culture and politics. Guests and audience are invited for an evening of joint discussion, reflection and problem-solving. BASEL DEBATES is curated by Public Culture Lab and co-produced by Kaserne Basel and swisspeace.
