  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

    Gesundheit Field Report Florence Meeting Bern/Winterthur 18.-22. April 2017 Bern Fachhochschule in collaboration with ZHAW and FH Ostschweiz, Bern and Winterthur, Switzerland Students and Staff, Bachelor Midwifery and Nursing, various study years The conference of the 25th Florence Network Annual Meeting took place from Tuesday 18th April – Saturday 22th April 2017 in Switzerland. We spent four days in Bern at the University of Applied Sciences and one day in Winterthur, in cooperation with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the University of Applied Sciences St. Gallen. The conference theme was “Mental Health: Global Challenge – Local Actions”. During the week, the differences between the health care systems of the participating countries and especially those regarding mental health care were discussed. Keynote speakers talked about mental health and various workshops on different aspects of mental health were offered. The WHO defined 2017 Mental Health as “a state of well-being”. But what does that mean? Mental Health in Midwifery Due to the vulnerability of the perinatal period, a lot of women and men suffer from mental illnesses during this stage of life. That is why the midwifery workshops and keynote speeches of the FNAM were mainly about the topic of perinatal and above all postnatal depression and its treatment. According to Anke Berger’s presentation, 18% of Swiss pregnant women and 19% of new mothers suffer from a mental disorder. Although this is a high percentage, only 50% of these women are detected and can be treated. The treatment itself is a big challenge as psychopharmacological drugs may influence the foetus as well as the composition of breast milk.
