People Who Filmed Swiss Glaciers - Student Documentary Footage

Looking for footage of Swiss glaciers for a student documentary Hi everyone! We’re a small team of students in Ticino working on a year-long student project, which includes a short documentary about Swiss glaciers and the changes they’re experiencing. We’re currently looking for existing footage that we might be able to use in the documentary. If you’ve ever filmed a glacier during a hike, have some drone footage, or have videos or landscape shots you think might be suitable for a documentary, we’d love to hear from you. And if you know someone who might have something, we’d be very grateful if you could pass this along. We’re working with a very limited student budget, so unfortunately we can’t offer payment. We’re simply hoping to find people who might be happy to share footage they’ve already captured. Of course, we’d ask for permission before using anything and give the creator proper credit in the documentary. We are happy to share more details about the project with anyone who’s interested, so please feel free to send a DM if you’d like to know more before sharing any footage. We’d be happy to answer your questions! Thanks for reading, and a big thank you to anyone who might be able to help. It really means a lot! :)

Swiss AI Companion Users - Emotional Bonds & Daily Life

You are Swiss and in Love with Ai? / Du bist Schweizer:in und verliebt in eine KI? Hi everyone! My name is Leila, and I’m researching an upcoming report for SRF “rec.”, a documentary and reportage format by Swiss public broadcaster SRF. I’m looking for people living in Switzerland who have developed a close emotional connection with an AI companion, whether you see it as a friend, a romantic partner, or someone you regularly turn to. I tried one myself. It made me curious to hear from people who have been using an AI companion for longer: What do you value about the connection? How has it developed, and what role does it play in your everyday life? If you’d be open to an initial conversation, I’d love to hear from you. You’re welcome to send me a private message you don’t need to share anything personal publicly. Personal information will be treated confidentially. If you’d prefer to remain anonymous, we’ll respect that and discuss what you’re comfortable sharing before any participation. Thank you for reading! Leila –––––– Hallo! Ich bin Leila und recherchiere für eine geplante Reportage von SRF «rec.», einem Dokumentar- und Reportageformat des Schweizer Radio und Fernsehens. Ich suche Menschen, die in der Schweiz leben und eine enge emotionale Verbindung zu einem KI-Companion aufgebaut haben – ob als Freund, romantischer Partner oder als Gegenüber, an das ihr euch regelmässig wendet. Ich habe es selbst ausprobiert. Nun möchte ich von Menschen erfahren, die einen KI-Companion schon länger nutzen: Was schätzt ihr an dieser Verbindung? Wie hat sie sich entwickelt und welche Rolle spielt sie in eurem Alltag? Falls ihr offen für ein erstes Gespräch seid, würde ich mich sehr über eine private Nachricht freuen. Ihr müsst hier nichts Persönliches öffentlich teilen. Persönliche Angaben behandeln wir selbstverständlich vertraulich. Wenn ihr anonym bleiben möchtet, respektieren wir das. Vor einer möglichen Teilnahme besprechen wir gemeinsam, was ihr teilen möchtet und womit ihr euch wohlfühlt. Vielen Dank fürs Lesen! Leila

Zurich Residents Near Koch-Areal & Oerlikon - Gentrification Stories

Looking for suggestions and participants Hi everyone! :) A few days ago I asked here about places in Zurich where I could explore questions around human condition in Zurich and most of the people suggested to explore urban change, and several of you mentioned Koch-Areal, Oerlikon and other areas where the city is changing quite rapidly. I’m currently in Zurich for a photography project focused on the human condition particularly on how people experience changes in the places they live, work and spend time in gentrification Rather than simply photographing buildings, I’d really like to meet and listen to people who have a personal connection to these places. If you live around Koch-Areal, used to spend time there, were involved in the alternative/cultural scene, work nearby, or simply have a story about how the area has changed, I would love to hear from you. OR other mentioned districts I’m not looking for “the right answer” or trying to prove a particular point. I’m interested in different experiences positive, negative, complicated or somewhere in between. If you’d be comfortable, I’d also love to meet for a coffee or a short walk around the area and hear your perspective. With your permission, I may also make some photographs as part of the project. And if you know someone else whose story might be relevant, I’d be very grateful if you could connect us. Thank you to everyone who originally pointed me towards these places your suggestions have already shaped the direction of my project.

Swiss Residents & Voters - Experiences With Decentralised Government

Researching democracy in der Schweiz Hey! I‘m a writer and researcher from Liverpool, currently based in Germany. I‘m working on a piece about Switzerland‘s decentralised political system, and hoping to speak to locals about their experiences. I‘m interested particularly in exploring the components of the system that has made Switzerland a global leader in many areas, but also investigate the weaknesses it has. The UK- and my hometown- is undergoing a process of decentralisation that this research will contribute to. I‘d love to hear from a range of perspectives on this topic, so please let me know your thoughts :)

Chefs in German Fine-Dining & Michelin Kitchens - Working Conditions

[Mod-approved] German public broadcaster (ARD) researching working conditions in fine-dining & Michelin-star kitchens – looking to hear from chefs Hi r/Chefit, I spoke with the mod team beforehand and they kindly made an exception to the no-research rule for this post – thanks to them for that. I'm Hannah, a journalist working for ARD, Germany's public broadcaster. We're researching working conditions in German fine-dining and Michelin-level kitchens: hours, pay, hierarchy and the culture on the pass, the "passion as payment" trade-off, and where the line between hard work and abuse gets crossed. Even though the focus is Germany, I know many chefs here have worked across borders or have a clear read on the industry, so I'd genuinely value hearing from you – whether you've worked in German kitchens or want to share your experience from neighbouring countries (Austria, Switzerland etc). What I'm looking for: people who've worked in fine-dining/Michelin star kitchens and are willing to share their experience: on the record, on background, or fully anonymous, whatever you're comfortable with. No obligation to appear on camera. How to reach me: share your experiences here in the comments or contact me privately at [email redacted]. I'm happy to verify who I am first and send you a copy of my press card or an email from my official editorial address. Source protection is taken seriously, and nothing gets used without your consent.

Schengen border controls (ie within the Schengen area): Have you experienced any lately or seen one? I'm writing about the "temporary" checks that several EU countries have re-introduced and I'd love to hear as many experiences (or views) as possible.
