The
Children’s Village
For our All-embracing Leadership™ Development seminars we collaborate with different children’s’ villages all over Europe.
These children’s’ villages have the suitable environment and infrastructure to run successful projects within the seminars.
We collaborate in a close and trustful way with these villages and adjust the topics of the projects to children’s motivation and skills.
Our partners make sure that the children have lots of fun and joy during the seminars and take along wonderful memories of the projects.

Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation Switzerland
In the Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation
in Trogen, children and young people from Switzerland and
abroad come into direct contact with each other, thereby
providing the basis for peaceful intercultural co-existence.
The Foundation offers children and adolescents the chance
to have direct access to a foreign culture and learn more
about it. The Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation creates educational
opportunities in places where many children and adolescents
cannot go to school for a variety of reasons. The Foundation
supports partner organisations by setting up alternative
schools and vocational training centres.

Pestalozzi International Village Trust
Pestalozzi International Village Trust
is an educational charity whose primary aim has always been
to break cycles and change conditions and attitudes that
lead to conflict. Today it does this by: |
 |
providing an excellent education in the UK in accordance with the Pestalozzi principles (of educating “the Head, Heart and Hands"), and an experience of cultural diversity and global citizenship to young people with marked academic potential, from disadvantaged communities in various parts of the developing world |
| |
assisting those disadvantaged communities by instilling in our young people, who leave us well qualified, the ethos of service so that they can support and become advocates for the development of their home communities |
| |
fostering international understanding within those source communities, the UK and the wider world |

Vorarlberger Kinderdörfer
The Vorarlberger Children’s villages
support families, in which the welfare of the children is
affected to a high degree. Their first aim is it to offer
skills for children self-help. The families` skills and
potentials are established, if possible, to re-establish
their independence. They also take responsibility for the
education of the children, if their parents are not able
to. It doesn’t matter if this temporal or for a longer period
of time. In addition to that they try to establish an atmosphere
in the society where children are welcome.
