In France, President Emmanuel Macron wrote about freedom of expression and embracing diversity, while Switzerland boasted its neutrality and Portugal mentioned its educational and employment opportunities."I’ve learned that despite how different some of these places are seen and shown on the news and social media. They’re actually pretty similar. A lot of the people are pretty similar to you and me," Schwartzman said.
