From a Swiss point of view, I get the desire for stability—but shouldn’t we be shaping our own countries instead of leaving them behind? Democracy needs participation, not just passports. #LeadershipMatters #StayAndShape

Kicking out international students would be a massive own goal for the U.S.—but pushing back just because Trump shows up makes no sense either. From a Swiss view: protect academic freedom, don’t politicize education. Talent and ideas need safe ground, not shaky agendas. #GlobalEducation #Perspective
