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.

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.

Participants in the European Youth Forum Trogen (EYFT) spend a week at the Pestalozzi Children's Village in Trogen. However, the project is not over after this time: the young people become changemakers in their own environment and pass on their experiences, for example in workshops for other young people. And for some, their time in the Children's Village remains a lasting experience.

The power_up radio bus is going on a big anniversary tour in collaboration with the Swiss Association of Music Schools (VMS): to mark the 50th anniversary of the VMS, the mobile is travelling through 17 cantons and broadcasting live from the schools.

There was dancing, there was playing, there was celebrating. The tenth edition of the summer festival at the Pestalozzi Children's Village lived up to its promise: a colourful celebration for the whole family, with a programme for young and old. And there were plenty of them at the children's village last Saturday.

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the world. Conflicts lurk on every street corner. The prospects are anything but rosy. Many try their luck in neighbouring countries - including children. But in the middle of Honduras, six-year-old Daylin harbours the dream of becoming a vet.

Over a hundred young people came together as "rebels for peace" at the Pestalozzi Children's Village summer camp. For thirteen days, the young people from eight different countries learnt, discussed, doubted and grew together. A journey lasting more than two weeks.

What happens when a radio project becomes much more than just a programme? The Eichmatt school in Hünenberg showed us how and transformed the school playground into a lively neighbourhood festival.

Between delicious flavours, lively table conversations and a golden dusk, this year's charity tavolata was an evening full of well-being.
