What Projects do Youth reps create?
Each team of Swiss UN Youth Reps, creates a national annual project of their choice. The purpose is usually to provide a educational value for youth in Switzerland through the realization of the project. See what past youth representatives have done.
BOARD GAME: MY FOOD - OUR PLANET
My Food – Our Planet is an educational project led by the Swiss Climate Youth Delegate (2023–2025) that uses a science-based board game to raise awareness about the links between food, health, and climate. Inspired by the 2019 EAT-Lancet “Food Planet Health” report, the game introduces young people to the Planetary Health Diet and key aspects of sustainable food systems. Designed for players aged 10 and up, it encourages informed, climate-friendly choices through engaging, accessible play.

Booklet: Swiss Gen Z Perspectives on THE UN
The Swiss Youth Reps (team 2023) conducted a qualitative study about the opinions of Swiss youth on the UN and related topics in 2024. They collaborated with schools from all regions of the country. The results are presented in a booklet and serve as a tool to inform stakeholders, define positions and create statements for UN conferences, thereby better representing Swiss youth on the international stage.
Video Series: Politics is You(TH)!
Swiss Youth Reps (team 2022) created videos portraying young people throughout Switzerland that are politically engaged in unconventional ways. Check the SAJV.ch YouTube channel to watch the engaging and captivating documentary-style videos.
Card Game: UN Security council
Swiss Youth Reps (team 2021) have created an engaging card game that lets players step into the shoes of United Nations Security Council members. In this game, each player assumes the role of an imaginary country (such as Alphaland, Metropolis, Wakanda etc.) with unique objectives and veto powers. In the game, the objective is to pass or veto resolutions, and each player strategizes to achieve their unique goals, reflecting the real-world challenges faced by Security Council members.
