Spreading the "Esprit de Genève"
Collaborations
The Fondation pour Genève works closely with the various stakeholders involved in international Geneva to work together on initiatives that will enhance our canton’s reputation, attractiveness and openness to the world.
Conferences organized with the Geneva Graduate Institute
Every year, the Fondation pour Genève and the Geneva Graduate Institute organize a public lecture at the Maison de la Paix with an inspiring personality. In recent years, we have had the pleasure of welcoming :
– Mirjana Spoljaric, President of the ICRC: ‘International Humanitarian Law in a divided world: A Conversation with ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric’ in November 2022
– Alain Berset, as President of the Confederation in 2023: ‘What role for Switzerland in a world in crisis? in February 2023

United Nations Concert
Every year, in honour of United Nations Day, the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) organises a concert with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. An opportunity to bring together and thank those who work for peace and respect for human rights. The Fondation pour Genève is delighted to be associated with this event, which is an artistic celebration of multilateralism and mutual assistance and mutual aid, which the world needs so much today.
Dinner at the Young Activists Summit
Since 2019, the Fondation pour Genève has been a partner of the Young Activists Summit. Every year, this event brings together 5 young people from different parts of the world who are committed to peace, human rights and the environment. During the dinner organised in their honour by the Fondation pour Genève, these young people have the opportunity to speak before various political, international and private sector figures, and to tell them about their concrete actions in the field.
