Future Days 24

To promote technical and scientific professions among our youth, we offer a day of discovery to the entire population of the Grand Chasseral region - especially to our youth - with an exhibition, celebrities, meetings, an air show, and a conference with a concert. It will be possible to discover the professions of the future and much more, thanks to our exhibitors at the CIP (Interregional Training Center). We will welcome the Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier, pilot Hervé de Saint Exupéry, a member of Antoine's family, and the famous SWISS Band. Our new Swiss astronaut Marco Sieber will visit us if his training permits. As the ultimate honor for our region, the Patrouille Suisse will perform several formations over Tramelan, and a flying demonstration of the Super Puma will also add dynamism to this day.
