Members, non-members, volunteers, newbies and veterans, we need you all!

We've made considerable efforts to make foraus more open and accessible for everyone that wishes to join us on our mission to make the foreign policy landscape more inclusive & make the voices of non grey-haired generations heard. But what does it actually mean to be a part of foraus?

Part I – the WHY:
Why foraus? We want to know what you'd like being part of the foraus community to mean? Why are you (not) at foraus? What does it mean to be a member of our community? What do you give and what benefits would you want to receive in return?

Part II – the WHAT:
Once upon a time a flock of foreign policy disruptors took a trip to the RIGI mountains and founded a funny little group called foraus… Then, the RIGI group was born. In foraus' 14 years of existence, our community has definitely evolved. With our new grassroots strategy, our goal to dissolve any and all barriers between active volunteers and members is clear. So what does this mean for our community? Do we need a new name for our community and our adherents?

Part III – the HOW:
Communication is key, so let's all get on the same page. Currently our communication is spread out between email chains, a slightly sleepy Slack workspace, the WhatsApp group jungle and more. Where would you like to get updates and exchange with others in the future? Do we need different communication pathways for different uses? Let's take a final decision on our digital communication pathways together!

After some heated discussions, those who'd like can stay on a bit to chat and enjoy an apéro across all of our different locations!
