Intro
The history of the Pestalozzi Children's Village begins in 1944 with an appeal by the philosopher Walter Robert Corti (1910 to 1990) in the August issue of the magazine "Du". From this sketch of ideas to the ground-breaking ceremony in Trogen, just twenty months pass.
The Pestalozzi Children's Village Visitor Center presents an attractive exhibition. The historical part documents with impressive pictures and contemporary documents the origin and development of the Children's Village: from the founding idea to the modern children's charity with projects around school and education locally and abroad. In old film sequences from the "Wochenschau", visitors can sense the enthusiasm that Walter Robert Corti's call for the construction of a Children's Village triggered. Even today, the Children's Village is the heart of the Foundation, from which all activities in Switzerland and abroad emanate. In the Children's Village, school classes from Southeastern and Eastern Europe meet Swiss students and learn the basics of peaceful coexistence in exchange weeks. In addition to the projects in the Children's Village, the Foundation is committed to providing access to quality education worldwide and enables young people to attend school regularly in its projects abroad. The stories about "village children" from the past and the children from the current projects make the visitor center a living "museum". The children's rights corner draws attention to the need for communication about children's rights. Game tables with games from other cultures invite visitors to open up to new and foreign things in an entertaining way. In the Wish Room, young and old can publicly deposit their wishes for the future.
