Getting children involved in carnival
It’s carnival week in Basel and the streets are alive with colourful processions and musical groups, among them the Schnurebegge drum-and-fife group. This group has been making a big effort to recruit young members, in order to ensure the future of Basel’s traditional festival to scare away the spirits of winter. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch/SRF)

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
