About the RECI-FoBBIZ Forum

The RECI-FoBBIZ Forum is the annual gathering of the newly unified Swiss network for education and vocational skills development in international cooperation.

Held in this combined format following the merger of the Swiss Network for Education and International Cooperation (RECI) and the Swiss Forum for Vocational Education and Training and International Cooperation (FoBBIZ), the event serves as an exchange and co-creation platform uniting practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and NGOs working along the education-training-work continuum.

This year, we are particularly excited to present and celebrate our new strategic direction for 2027 – 2030.
