Initiatives for Children's Rights Day

Stay on the ball thanks to education
On 9 November 2025, the Pestalozzi Children's Village was a guest at the 'Jogo dos Famosos'. Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Yakin & Co. provided a spectacle on the pitch. Off the pitch: powerup_radio and four young presenters who provided live commentary.
Guatemala: New operational partner organisation wanted
For the Guatemala 2025-2028 country strategy, we are looking for a new operational partner organisation (NGO based in Guatemala) that shares our vision and has proven experience in promoting education.

In September 2025, the powerup_radio travelled across Switzerland. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Association of Music Schools (VMS), the mobile radio studio stopped off in 18 cantons for 30 days.

One step at a time
Ten stages, 200 kilometres, one goal: two school classes from Frenkendorf hike across Switzerland and reflect on their own future. They were accompanied by a class from Sissach and the Pestalozzi Children's Foundation's radio bus, which captured voices and moods from the journey.
Who am I - and where do I want to go?
Headphones on, microphone on - and immediately in the thick of it. The radio project week in Trogen was a unique opportunity for the young people from the Schötz upper school to find their voice and start their professional future with new perspectives.
David defeats Goliath: Project school wins championship title
13 pupils from our project school in Pimienta in the Honduran region of Cortés have achieved something that until recently hardly anyone would have thought possible: they won the nationwide school volleyball tournament in the U-14 category - against private and bilingual schools with significantly better conditions. What they lacked in financial resources or sports equipment, they made up for in tireless determination and true team spirit.
