~ India Brightest Youngsters Test Their Knowledge In Fiercely Contested Swiss Quizzes ~
Bhubaneshwar / Ambala / Hyderabad (Nov-Dec 2023 & Jan 2024)
Embassy of Switzerland to India and Bhutan
Consulate General of Switzerland in Mumbai
Three quizzing activities took place in the cities of Bhubaneshwar, Ambala and Hyderabad. Hundreds of Indian students prepared diligently for these momentous occasions which celebrated the Indo-Swiss Friendship and knowledge in general. Exceptional performance, lots of fun and emotions!
Bhubaneshwar, 17th November 2023, Deputy Head of Mission, Dr Olivier Fink, welcomes around 150 students and elaborates on the 75 Years of Indo-Swiss Friendship, before the quizmaster starts the first round of questions. This round will lead to the selection of six finalist teams which will compete on the stage in different rounds using sound snippets, video excerpts, buzzers, and images. Every field of knowledge with links to Switzerland or Indo-Swiss relations is fair game. It takes three hours and countless questions until the lucky winner duo receives the laurels and prize-goodies.
Ambala, 12th December 2023, the hall of the school auditorium is slowly filling up. Students from the city of Ambala, but also the surrounding areas are slowly pouring into the place where the Swiss Quiz Ambala edition is to take place, convened by the partner organization Quizcraft Global. Two school students are revising their notebooks where information on Switzerland has painstakingly by noted. Facts and figures on Swiss history, geography, polity, society, innovations, economy, famous and historic people, sports, varia and of course Swiss-Indian linkages have been carefully researched and included in their preparatory notes. Elite schools, public and private schools and also students from under-privileged backgrounds, all are flocking into the event venue. Two girls, both 9th Graders from a school of Himachal Pradesh, made it to the first place, with a breathtaking range of correct answers on marmots, mountains, rivers, watch brands, political system, dams of Switzerland and more. As they receive many praises and goodies, the teacher explains with a tear in her eye that the winning students come from a โvery simple backgroundโ and that their victory โmeans a lot to our entire schoolโ.
Hyderabad, 19th January, the stage is set at the B.M. Birla Science Museum. Curious young minds from different schools are busy solving the preliminary round of the exciting Swiss-Indian Friendship Quiz. 6 teams qualify for the final, where the quizmaster tests their knowledge on raclette, Swiss inventions, Romansh dialects, among other topics. Audience participation was at an all-time high with several students vying for Swiss goodies with correct answers. A confident and well-prepared duo of ninth graders scored a landslide victory in the final round. It was fun to engage with eager and curious students on the stage, probing their newly acquired wealth of knowledge on Switzerland. Many were incredibly well prepared and knew answers even Swiss people might have had difficulty coming up with!
