Some moments carry an extra dose of hope. The opening of our new early childhood development center 'Detski Mechti' – which means Children's Dreams – in the village of Malki Iskar, Bulgaria, was one of those moments. 💛

In this region, many families have limited access to kindergartens, schools, or medical care. Young mothers, in particular, often face significant challenges when they want to give their children a good start in life.

With the new center, we can now support over 50 children and their parents, right where support is most crucial and effective: during pregnancy and the first four years of life. Here, children find a safe, loving place. Parents receive advice and assistance. Young mothers also get the opportunity to look for work while their children are well taken care of.

For the children and families in Malki Iskar, this center is more than just a building. It is the beginning of a better future.

Dina is 12 years old and has been attending a CONCORDIA day center - her 'little school' - for a year. Here, she learns something new every day and has discovered her great passion: the clarinet. 🎶

When she plays, she feels free and happy - and dreams of one day performing on big stages. ✨

💚 This is exactly why we are here: to help children learn new things and discover their talents.

📚 Education Changes Lives 📚

Many children who attend our CONCORDIA Day Centers don't have a quiet place to study at home – and often lack someone to help them with their homework.

This is where we come in.
At our Day Centers, children receive daily:
✏️ Homework support
📖 Targeted learning assistance
👩‍🏫 Guidance from educators in small groups

This helps them close learning gaps, understand their lessons better, and build new self-confidence.

And it's making a difference: Kids are attending school more regularly – and improving their performance step by step. ✨

Because education is more than just learning.
It is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and opening up new paths in life.

CONCORDIA in : Advocating for Children's Rights 🇪🇺💛
Last week, our CEO Bernhard Drumel, along with colleagues from CONCORDIA, visited Brussels to discuss children's rights, social inclusion, and the fight against intergenerational child poverty with key European partners.

Our delegation, including Bernhard Drumel, Martina Raytchinova, Diana Yovcheva-Koparanova, and Anemari Nitu, met with representatives from the European Parliament, the European Commission, and the European Economic and Social Committee. They also connected with strong civil society networks such as Eurochild, Caritas Europe, Save the Children, and the EU Alliance for Investing in Children. 🤝

The discussions centered on crucial future questions:
🇪🇺 How can EU funds be effectively used for children and families in poverty?
🌱 How can the European Child Guarantee be effectively implemented and extended to candidate countries?
📣 What political steps are needed to ensure no child is left behind?

CONCORDIA brings invaluable experiences from daily work in five countries – directly from our day centers, educational programs, family support services, and child protection facilities.

We know that child poverty is never an isolated issue. It has structural causes and can only be overcome when practice and policy work together.

Today is International Children's Day! 🎈

When Sara first came to CONCORDIA's day center in Vienna - the LenZ Learning and Family Center - she spoke little German and often stayed in the background.

But step by step, she gained confidence. She found her voice, moved into a regular class, and found her place with us. 💛

During the summer program, Sara showed what she was capable of: with her text, she won 3rd place in a writing competition. ✍️✨

On International Children's Day, Sara's story reminds us of what really matters:
Children need opportunities. A safe place. People who listen. And adults who trust them to surpass themselves.

Because every child has something to say – sometimes they just need someone to listen.

Our theme week at CONCORDIA Elementary School in Romania was all about sweets – and it brought loads of creativity, joy, and new experiences. 💚

The children chose the theme themselves and then dived into a colorful week of workshops, games, and exciting projects. Inspired by "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," they baked, experimented, danced, and learned. 🍪✨

But it wasn't just about sweets: Together, the students also discussed the importance of a balanced diet and the difference between homemade snacks and store-bought candies.

This is how learning comes to life – with curiosity, joy, and lots of tasty treats. 🌈

Diana is 13 years old and lives with her family on the outskirts of Ploiești, Romania. At the CONCORDIA Day Center, she found a place that has opened up new opportunities for her—and given her the courage to believe in her dreams.

Today she plays the violin and drums, sings, paints, and expresses her feelings through art. 🎨✨

For Diana, the center is more than just a place: it’s her second family—and a step toward a better future. 💚

CONCORDIA guarantees access to , facilities, products, and hygiene education in our .

Many children visiting our day centers live in dilapidated houses without running water, sanitary facilities, or stable infrastructure. This is where our day centers come into play.

💧 Reliable and Clean
In our centers, children have access to functioning sanitary facilities, washing stations, and hygiene products. Showers and washing machines are also part of the offerings.

🧼 as a Daily Routine
Even young children learn basic hygiene routines with us – hand washing, personal care, and ultimately taking responsibility for themselves. These habits not only protect health but also boost confidence and independence.

📚 Foundation for Learning and Social
Health is a prerequisite for education. Those who are sick or embarrassed stay away from classes. Access to hygiene measures creates the foundation for regular school attendance, concentration, and healthy social development.

💛 Dignity and
Clean clothes, a shower, and a protected space – these are not luxuries but fundamental aspects of dignity.

Access to water, sanitary facilities, and hygiene measures is a tool to promote health, trust, and social inclusion – and thus a central component of our day centers.

🕊️ Happy Pentecost from CONCORDIA 🕊️

Pentecost reminds us of the immense power that emerges when people understand each other, stand together, and carry hope forward. 💛

We experience exactly this every day in our programs:
when children gain trust, families find support, and communities grow where there was once uncertainty.

We wish you a peaceful Pentecost weekend filled with warmth, connection, and optimism.

Environmental protection often starts with small steps—or, in our case, with small trees. 💚

Together with the UN Kosovo, children and young people at the CONCORDIA Ali Ibra Day Center planted trees, actively doing something to help their environment.

It wasn’t just about the planting itself, but also about understanding why nature, clean air, and green spaces are so important for our future.

Every tree planted today will provide better air, shade, and a nicer view in the future. ✨
