Youth. Cancer. Life.
Public Event on September 10, 2026, with Luisa Zürcher
When cancer strikes young people, life suddenly comes to a standstill. Plans fall apart. Questions remain. And yet, there is room for courage, anger, hope—and new paths.
In an award-winning short film, St. Gallen-based animator and producer Luisa Zürcher tells her personal story. Experts explain why cancer rates are rising among young people—and what young people affected by the disease really need today.
