How is digitalisation changing our view of the world? How does it influence our everyday life?

Activities are planned in Zurich, Geneva, Lugano, Basel, Bern, Chur, Fribourg, Lausanne, Lucerne, Yverdon-les-Bains, Sion, St. Gallen and Vaduz.
With critical discussions on the seven topics: Education, Health, Mobility, Lifestyle, Work 4.0, Media & News, My Data, the day specifically promotes dialogue. Throughout the day, the partners will be available to answer questions.
Virtual visitor tour through a parcel centre
Swiss Post invites visitors to discover a parcel centre on a virtual tour. It shows how digital technology enables new services in logistics. You can experience first-hand how the highly complex computer-controlled high-tech conveyor system works, which not only allows parcels to be sorted in a timely, reliable and gentle manner, but also enables a variety of new services thanks to the digital technology used in the background.
Virtual reality drone flight
Swiss Post is also at the forefront of the development and use of drones in logistics. With the virtual reality simulator, visitors can experience an impressive flight with an autonomously flying drone over Lake Zurich. Through the use of a full motion movement platform, visitors should completely forget within a few seconds that they are "only" in a simulator.
