A whole month without supermarkets

Céline joined swissinfo.ch in 2018 as video journalist for the 'Nouvo in English' project, just after graduating from the Academie du journalisme et des medias (AJM) at the University of Neuchâtel. Originally from Ticino, she's been filming, writing and interviewing people all over Switzerland since she got her first reporter badge at 11 during a school camp.
Launched three years ago by an association from canton Neuchâtel, the ‘February without supermarkets’ month has now found participants all over Switzerland, France and Belgium. The idea is not to boycott supermarkets all together but rather to rethink shopping habits and how we can support locally-sourced groceries. We met a young woman who took part in the challenge, who told us how and why she took it on.
