Crises are easy to identify and communicate. A bigger challenge is to make visible the opportunities that engage society to bring about positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making opportunities visible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to do our part to drive this positive change. ESSENCE RELATIONS<\/a> has thus taken on the conception and communication of the annual \u201copportunity barometer<\/a>\u201d, which was launched by the LARIX Foundation this year and is set to be published annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opportunity barometer asks how the Swiss perceive democracy in their country, what they expect, value and are missing \u2014 and how they see themselves as citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it shows that the majority of Swiss citizens have confidence in political institutions, even if some feel their expectations are not being fully met. Nevertheless, these critical citizens are an indication of a functioning democracy. Because democratic criticism can be the driving force and stimulus for an even more democratic Switzerland. It motivates and obliges, controls and holds politicians responsible. In short: Switzerland seems to be far from being a democracy in crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland wants courage!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study also shows what Switzerland wants and where it sees potential for improvement. Overall, the Swiss do not want politics to stand still, but rather wish to see a courageous effort toward new solutions and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are results that \u2014 especially in times like these \u2014 encourage us and confirm that democracy in Switzerland is moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
