20. November 2024

The international SOS campaign ‘Stomping for Peace’ was presented to the public today at the private school formatio in the presence of the member of government Dominique Hasler and together with the pupils we stomped for peace.

SOS Children's Villages Liechtenstein is part of the global SOS Children's Villages campaign ‘Stomping for Peace’, in which 38 SOS country organisations are participating. The aim is to give schoolchildren a voice so that they can stand up for peace and children's rights worldwide.

Their message, together with the statements of other children from around the world, was presented at an UN event in New York on November,19 2024 and included into an international short film. In addition, 7 schools in Liechtenstein made their voices heard on Children's Rights Day by stomping for peace.

The aim of the global campaign is to reach the powerful people of this world and finally achieve peace negotiations and respect for children's rights in crisis areas.
