Closing event of the Citizens’ Assembly 2025
On Tuesday evening, 20 May 2025, participants in the Citizens’ Assembly presented their final report on health promotion and prevention to Federal Councillor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider at the Kornhausforum in Bern – the culmination of a process lasting several months.
In a structured, moderated process, the 2025 Citizens’ Assembly developed and voted on reform proposals – including a national health law, better health literacy in all phases of life, and a stricter ban on advertising for alcohol and nicotine.
Over 100 guests from politics, science and healthcare were in attendance and witnessed how democratic participation can be successful in a concrete, constructive and solution-oriented manner.
