About
Founded in 2019, the Swiss Diplomacy Student Association (SDSA) is a dynamic and constantly evolving student association dedicated to meeting the aspirations of students interested in international relations and diplomacy. With an active network also in Lausanne, Bern, and Zurich, the SDSA pursues three main objectives: to democratize diplomacy by raising awareness among a broad audience of its many facets, from the public sphere to the private sector; to professionalize its members through training and skills development opportunities; and to foster networking by connecting students from diverse backgrounds and facilitating their integration into the professional world.
Join us to explore, learn, and build a unique network in the world of diplomacy!
