The transition from primary to secondary school is a particularly critical moment in the Serbian education system – especially for children from marginalized communities. Our project, "Together to Secondary School," addressed precisely this juncture. It empowered numerous children and young people and simultaneously developed a school model with the potential for nationwide scaling.

On International Children's Rights Day, the Pestalozzi Children's Village reminds us how important education, rights and participation are for a social, sustainable society.
