The Swiss Society for the Common Good (SSCG) is organising this year’s Federal celebration on the Rütli under the slogan “Harmony and Diversity”. The choice of topic should make it clear that, despite all their differences, people can very well work together in a constructive and enriching way. What’s more: their different backgrounds and perspectives are essential for creating a harmonious whole and a “society”. The slogan is linked to the SSCG’s thematic focus: promoting social cohesion.
