SANCHILD Foundation is dedicated to building a culture of sustainable peace and harmonious living. Based in Switzerland and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

SANCHILD is a non-profit, non-governmental, neutral and a fully transparent organization, driven by inclusion, support, equality, compassion and empathy. SANCHILD is NOT a political or religious movement and do not want to be politically appropriated or associated with any religion. Our 4 focus pillars of work are well-being, education, personal and socio-economic development, and a sustainable environment. Our approach is human-centric and permeates our entire work. This means promoting inclusion, diversity, equality, compassion, empathy and love for human beings and nature. Our goal is to provide communities with transformational tools in an environment that promotes sustainable peace and inclusion. We are committed to making a positive impact in society by contributing to the UN SDGs. We are proud to be a nonprofit partner of 1% for the Planet.

We are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between SANCHILD International and Rotary International District 2485 – Albania & Kosovo 🤝

This agreement marks the beginning of a new collaboration in support of the Harmony Program Pilot Kosovo–Albania 2026–2027.

The pilot will bring together committed local changemakers from Kosovo and Albania through a human-centred journey connecting personal growth, dialogue, facilitation and community-led action.

Beginning with an online preparation, then an in-person immersion in Kosovo, participants will be supported in developing and implementing concrete Ripple Projects responding to needs within their communities. Their experiences and feedback will also contribute to the continued development of the Harmony approach.

Through this partnership, SANCHILD will contribute the Harmony framework, international facilitation and ongoing accompaniment, while Rotary District 2485 will bring essential local leadership, networks, contextual knowledge and support.

Together, we aim to create the conditions for locally led, sustainable positive change across Kosovo and Albania 🌍

We are grateful to everyone helping bring this collaboration to life and look forward to sharing the journey ahead.

What helps people learn, grow and belong? 🌱

Our Harmony Peace Circle Switzerland reminded us that education, human development and peace are deeply connected.

What emerged was a vision of learning that goes beyond transmitting knowledge. Education can also help people understand themselves, develop the capacity to understand others, navigate differences and contribute constructively to their communities.

But this requires the right conditions. People learn and grow differently. They need environments where they can feel safe, belong, express themselves, explore, question and take an active role in their own development. 🌿

The same applies to building more peaceful communities.
🕊️ Peace is not shaped only through institutions or policies. It is also shaped in the way we listen to one another, respond to differences, create space for diverse experiences and give people meaningful agency in the decisions that affect them.

Perhaps one of the clearest insights from the Circle was therefore this: if we want different outcomes, we also need to look at the conditions we create for people. 💡

This is where education, human development and peacebuilding meet — and where we believe important conversations can begin.

Insights from the Circle will now contribute to UNESCO ‘s Education Beyond 2030 consultation, the United Nations’ Hear Us. Act Now for a Peaceful World campaign, and our continued exploration of the Harmony program in Switzerland. 🌍

Listen first. Understand deeply. Build together.

OPEN CALL | Harmony Peace Circle Switzerland 🌍

On the UN International Day of Peace, 21 September 2026, SANCHILD International will host an online Harmony Peace Circle in Switzerland — a participatory space for young people, lived experience and local expertise to come together, listen, reflect and co-create.

Part of the United Nations “Hear Us. Act Now for a Peaceful World” global movement, the Circle will explore experiences and perspectives around migration, identity, belonging, education and community peace in Switzerland.

Through this dialogue, we want to better understand what young people need to feel supported, included and able to thrive — and explore how these insights could help shape a future Harmony initiative adapted to the Swiss context.

🌐 As part of the Circle, participants will also have the opportunity to contribute their perspectives to UNESCO’s Global Youth Consultation on Education Beyond 2030, bringing their voices into a wider conversation about the future of education and learning.

We especially welcome young people living in Switzerland, including those with migration or refugee backgrounds, as well as educators, social workers, psychosocial professionals, facilitators and community actors working alongside young people and migrant communities.

Different experiences.
Different perspectives.
One shared space to listen, reflect and imagine what could come next.

📅 21 September 2026
💻 Online | Time to be confirmed (late afternoon)
✨ Special guests to be announced soon
📩 Apply by 18 September: [email protected]
When applying, please briefly tell us who you are, a little about your experience, and why you would like to take part. Lived experience is valued: no professional background is required.

Today, we honor a woman whose kindness reached far beyond the stage.

Through generosity, education and compassion, Dolly Parton has shown that lasting impact begins with caring for others. Beyond her music and public life, her commitment to giving back, especially through education and access to books for children — reminds us that change can begin in simple, deeply human ways.

Her example shows that impact does not always start with grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins with a book, a helping hand, a word of encouragement, or the quiet decision to give from the heart.

“I just give from my heart.” — Dolly Parton

May her example continue to inspire kindness, dignity and hope across generations.

🕊️ Nelson Mandela’s words continue to inspire us because they reflect a truth at the heart of SANCHILD: peace is not passive. It is something we choose to build, through courage, dialogue, healing and collective action.

Through the Harmony Project and its locally led Ripple Projects, we support people in transforming personal healing into community impact—strengthening trust, connection and long-term peace. Initiatives such as Mental Health Matters show how education, emotional well-being and community engagement can become practical tools for rebuilding stronger and more peaceful societies.

On Nelson Mandela International Day, we honour his legacy and all those who choose to build where others divide. His example remains a powerful inspiration for our mission and for every community changemaker carrying peace forward. ✨

Justice and forgiveness are often seen as opposites. Yet lasting peace requires both.

Justice acknowledges harm, protects dignity, and creates accountability. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing what happened—it is a personal choice that can help break cycles of resentment and open the possibility of healing.

Building peaceful communities means holding space for both truth and reconciliation. One without the other is rarely enough to create lasting change.

“There can be no peace without justice and no justice without forgiveness.”
— Pope John Paul II

🤍 What does this quote mean to you?

25/06/2026

Peace is built through dialogue, cooperation, and human connection.

Across the world, women are contributing to diplomacy, peacebuilding, mediation, and international cooperation. Their work helps bridge divides, foster understanding, and create pathways toward more peaceful and inclusive societies.

Yet women remain underrepresented in many decision-making and diplomatic spaces. Expanding participation is not only a question of representation—it is a question of building stronger and more sustainable solutions for the challenges we face together.

Yesterday, on the International Day of Women in Diplomacy, we celebrated the women who dedicate their work to dialogue, cooperation, and peace.
