H.E. Ambassador Dominik Furgler will also give a talk: Brexit: Challenges for the EU, UK & Switzerland.
Following this, two UK-based Swiss artists, painter Sandra Roduit and film director Francesco Bernasconi, will present their latest works.
The full programme of activities continues into the evening with a drinks reception and entertainment from folk singer Silvi Vignola.
On Sunday, the programme resumes with either a guided tour of London’s unique and ever-changing street art or an exciting visit to Tate Modern’s new extension designed by the world-renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. John O’Mara, who project managed the construction of the Tate’s extension, will give an introductory talk. The day will conclude with a lunch at the Tate Modern.
