Episode Synopsis

--- Send us your questions ---Children in Switzerland walk to school alone. They go home at lunch time and there is no security at the school. A typical Swiss school day also contains some surprises compared to other countries and can be quite a revelation for expats new to Switzerland. In this episode, you'll get two different perspectives: what surprises expats in Switzerland about the schools and what a typical Swiss school day looks like (from someone who's actually been to one)! Plus, we discuss German language exams, and take a trip to a traditional Swiss sports festival.Notes on this episode of Swiss and Chips: Your British Guide to SwitzerlandThe school run - Swiss style - and other surprising aspects of Swiss school routinesThe expat and Swiss perspectiveReasons behind these differencesExtra: A visit to the Eidgenössisches Hornussenfest (Federal Hornussen Festival) 2018...Join the community ChatSubscribe to the free newsletter...Send your questions:Drop us an email: [email protected] a voice message to play on the show +41 76 282 67 66Find us on Bluesky: Jo and SimonFind us on Instagram...Subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music Other ways to subscribe
