Acting in Switzerland
for a peaceful and inclusive school
Our mission at
Switzerland
In Switzerland, as elsewhere, children and young people are evolving in a changing educational environment, marked by growing relational, emotional and societal challenges.
These realities underline the importance of changing educational practices and strengthening the quality of classroom relationships.
Graines de Paix works alongside teachers and other stakeholders, providing educational resources, training and support tailored to the realities of the field.
Our programmes and educational resources help create more inclusive learning environments that foster pupil engagement and well-being.

Our educational programs – Graines de Paix
Two programs to help children and teenagers grow up in peace. Each acts at a key stage of development, with pedagogical approaches adapted to their age, daily life and school realities.
BieLiving Together in Harmony (for ages 12 to 15)
This program is designed for secondary I teachers in Switzerland. It offers approaches and tools for leading classroom activities that strengthen group cohesion, support relationship management and contribute to a more serene school climate. Students gain in self-understanding, respect for others and responsibility in their interactions.
AdoGoZen (for ages 11 to 16)
A program for teenagers in Switzerland, offered in the form of interactive workshops run in conjunction with educational teams. It helps young people better understand their emotions, develop their interpersonal skills and adopt more appropriate behaviors in tense situations. Activities reinforce the ability to communicate, make well-considered choices and contribute to a respectful group climate.
Our Educational Resources – Graines de Paix
Ready-to-use educational resources designed to develop children’s emotional, social and relationship skills. Teachers and education teams can use them independently or take part in short training sessions to support their implementation.
Growing Up in Peace (ages 4 to 12)
A collection of teaching guides and pupil workbooks for primary school teachers. It offers practical activities to develop pupils’ emotional, social and reflective skills, improve interactions and foster a calm, constructive classroom environment.
Leon and His Emotions (for children aged 4 to 12)
An interactive exhibition designed to help pupils recognise, understand and manage their emotions. Its eight illustrated panels and participatory activities encourage self-expression, active listening and dialogue in the classroom. The exhibition is available to rent or purchase.
