The foraus Regiogruppe Zürich together with the Center for Security Studies (CSS) of ETH Zurich invite you to the public event “The Role of Young Voices in and for Security”

Across Switzerland and internationally, young people face an increasingly complex security environment, from hybrid threats and disinformation to climate risks and geopolitical uncertainty. What concerns shape their perceptions of security, and how can their voices be better integrated into public debate and policymaking? This event, co-organized by the Center for Security Studies (CSS) and foraus, explores what security means for youth today, how they can contribute to a more peaceful future and how their voices shape Switzerland’s security policy landscape.

- Date: 23.02.26

- Time: 18.15 to 19.45, followed by an apéro

- Location: HG D 3.2 (ETH Main Building), Rämistrasse 101, 8006 Zürich

The event will begin with opening remarks by Dr. Daniel Möckli, Head of the CSS Think Tank. These will be followed by a brief presentation of key insights from recent youth and security studies, setting the stage for the panel discussion. The programme further includes interactive formats that invite participants to actively engage with the panelists.

The evening concludes with an apéro to continue the conversation.

Do not hesitate to forward this invitation to any other interested person. Please note, however, that the number of seats is limited.
