terre des hommes schweiz Violence against individuals and groups is a worldwide problem and must stop. Young people from three continents and five countries - including Switzerland and Basel - are tackling the root of the violence problem. With the "Global Action Month" (GAM) in November, they make themselves strong for diversity and against discrimination. With virtual actions and physical events, GAM 2021 runs under the motto "No Excuse To Violence". For this year's GAM in Switzerland, the International Youth Network IYN and the MePower project of terre des hommes schweiz are teaming up with imagine in Basel.
