Survivors and butterflies

On 14 June 2025, another bilingual networking event for childhood cancer survivors from the French- and German-speaking parts of Switzerland took place, this time in the canton of Fribourg.

In addition to providing an opportunity for survivors to connect with others who share similar experiences, these varied events offer a chance to try new activities, explore interesting regions of Switzerland, and receive helpful information from the Competence Centre for Survivorship.

Despite the tropical temperatures, 14 participants made the journey to Kerzers to spend the afternoon together. The varied programme included a private guided tour of the Papiliorama, where they learned many fascinating facts about butterflies, followed by an exploration of the facility’s lush flora and fauna. In addition to receiving information from the Competence Centre for Survivorship about self-help and aftercare services, participants had plenty of opportunities to share their experiences and get to know each other better.
