Martin Bischof

Martin is currently studying Political Science, Economics and International and European Public Law at University of Berne, Geneva and Maastricht.
Traveling in foreign countries is one of his passions and due to his activity in AIESEC, a global youth-driven student network, he discovered his interest for intercultural affairs.
He has professional experience in international HR Management and organized together with Michael Borgensten and Roger Müri last year's study trip to Uganda.

Michael Borgensten

Although originally from Sweden, I grew up in Zug, Switzerland and I am currently doing a masters in International Affairs at the University of St. Gallen. Having spent several years of my youth in Asia, I have from an early age been fascinated by foreign countries and cultures. My experiences in recent years as an exchange student in Cananda, an intern at the Swiss Embassy in Bangkok and travels to Africa have highlighted the importance of intercultural learning which I wish to pass on to other young people. I have been involved in study trips with IFIL to Venezuela in 2006, to the United States in 2007 and to Uganda in 2008.

Roger Müri

I was born on July 11th, 1984 in a small town called Lostorf near the Jura Mountains in Switzerland. In 2003 I graduated from the academic upper secondary school in Olten, where I was majoring in Latin. During three months of language courses in New Zealand and during different internships abroad – one at the Embassy of Switzerland in Bangkok – I got the urge to get to know even more foreign cultures and to make intercultural adventures and experiences available to other young people.
