[Sven Bisang](mailto:sven.bisang@gmail.com) started his journey in JEF as a regional coordinator of Young European Swiss (JEF Switzerland) in Zurich. After two years as co-president of JEF Switzerland, he got the opportunity to serve two terms on the Presidium of JEF Europe's Federal Committee which ended at the Zurich Congress 2015. Sven is now a vice-president of "Friends of JEF" (JEF alumni network) and the treasurer of the local section of UEF Switzerland in Basel, still passionately advocating to get his little Alpine republic to think again about active membership of the Union.&#x20;
