Multiculturalism

A different kind of post today. This signpost is outside a primary school in Urdorf. My guess is that the signs point to the various countries represented by the pupils - a simple but probably effective way to get a sense of integration while retaining kids pride in their origins and identity.

For me this represents the positive, and successful side of Switzerlands attitude to the many foreigners who live here. Forget the vocal and visible rantings of the SVP.

Tu es déjà rentré de vacances ? Tu es un rapide toi ! Tes commentateurs (-trices) vont être sur les rotules. Ca fait du bien pourtant de tems en temps les vacances de blog... des autres.
;o)

J'ai de très beaux panneaux aussi : deux beaux stops que j'ai dénichés à Truckee et à Al Portal. C'est magnifique lorsque ce n'est pas ,comment dire, préfabriqué.
As tu remarqué qu'à présent, il n'y a plus guère de panneaux qui donnent les distances sur les routes ? Ainsi, on peut prendre son fagot de panneaux et les mettre n'importe où comme on veut.

Multicultural or multiracial?

Rosemount - well both, I hope. I don't make a distinction here - your race, your origins, your culture - what matters is the acknowledgment, and I feel celebration of difference.

I live in Urdorf and have never seen this sign! Where is it? Do you live in Urdorf by chance?
