Promoting International Geneva

The awareness-raising actions

The Fondation pour Genève carries out various actions to raise awareness of international Geneva among the general public, among them public lectures, exhibitions and TV programs.

Cosmopolis TV shows: Geneva, an international city

The Fondation pour Genève has teamed up with the City of Geneva, the Groupement des Entreprises Multinationales and Léman Bleu TV to create a monthly programme showcasing international Geneva.
An in-depth look at the city’s international activities, its assets, its challenges and, above all, its diversity. Art, peace, human rights, the world of business, science – the aim is to introduce the general public to the different dimensions of international Geneva and overcome preconceptions about this important sector for the region.
