Children's rights: do you know them?
In collaboration with three other organisations, the Pestalozzi Children's Village has developed educational teaching materials for schools on children's rights. The teaching materials are available free of charge.
Music students make radio
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.
At the largest education meeting point: Swissdidac 2025
Visit us at the largest education fair in Switzerland. We will be represented at Swissdidac in Bern in November 2025 and invite you to a specialist presentation on site.
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.
Encounter becomes impact
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.
Radio bus on tour in Switzerland
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.
Summer party in the children's village
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.
