Teaching Materials
Switzerland is an ideal topic to teach at school, e.g., in social studies or in foreign languages: With its four national languages, its direct democracy and diverse landscape, there’s a lot to explore and discuss.
The Cultural Section offers free teaching materials of outstanding quality in different languages.
Switzerland-in-sight: A collection of files, containing a teaching manual and a class set of five units devoted to landscape and habitat, economy and science, people and society and Federalism and Multilingualism. A very appropriate teaching material, including a manual, for foreign language teachers available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese.
DVDs: Would you like to show a DVD about Switzerland or an original documentary feature from a Swiss Director? Please contact the Cultural Section.
Flags: For special events and for limited time periods, flags can be loaned by this Consulate. Contact us.
