Around 130 young people were in Switzerland to take part in camps ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad. Some of them have never lived in the country, and neither has their Swiss parent, or parents. Joining a Swiss abroad summer camp is a way in to the psyche of Switzerland. The young people explored the country's different language regions, visited areas of cultural and historical significance, and found out about everyday life. They were also given cameras to explore the issues of nature, tourism, sport and politics. In this video, one group investigates the importance of contact with the public for asylum seekers. --- swissinfo.ch is the international branch of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC).
