The bright yellow bench labelled "How are you?" is currently making a stop at the Children's Village. It invites you to take a seat, start a conversation, pause for a moment and talk openly about how you are feeling. The aim is to encourage an open dialogue about mental well-being or simply to ask: "How are you?"
Take a moment and drop by. On Wednesday, 2 July 2025, between 3 and 5 pm, the Pestalozzi Children's Village and the Appenzell Ausserrhoden Health Promotion Department invite you to an event at . The event with the Wanderbänkli will take place in cooperation with the Eastern Switzerland Forum for Mental Health and offers space for exchange and encounters.
We look forward to your visit!
