Swiss identity is deeply rooted in its regional German dialects. Poet and writer Renato Kaiser pokes at the feud between the cities Bern and St. Gallen, and the clash of their respective languages. 
Renato Kaiser writes and performs in both High German and dialect. He is currently raising funds to publish his book "Uufpassä, nöd aapassä - Erlebnisse aus der Selbsthilfegruppe für Anonyme Ostschweizer" More information can be found here.  

About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
