ANNUAL REPORT

Zurich / Switzerland 2025

PINOCCHIO, Beratungsstelle für Eltern und Kinder

I am delighted that I was able to produce the annual report from 2024 for the Pinocchio advice center again this year. This year’s theme is everyday life. PINOCCHIO is there for everyday life, for the worries that arise every day, for the burdens that add up to a mountain that is no longer manageable and certainly can no longer be overcome. What’s more, worries often don’t come alone. It often occurs in a difficult society, with pressure at work, with tensions in relationships, with unclear, tight financial circumstances. The weakest in this situation are their own children and adolescents, who are emotionally close, but whose behavior draws on their last reserves of strength.

INVITATION TO OPEN ATELIERS / PICTURE SALE

By the way: In the «Pflanzenfreund« summer podcast, Mona Vetsch talks to Bettina Walch from «Plan Biodivers« about her gardening philosophy and why she is a «superb gardener«, at least in theory. If you want to know why, click here:

Project launched to name and prevent femicides.

The Swiss research project „STOP FEMICIDE“ calls for naming femicides as such. The project initiators Nadia Brügger, Sylke Gruhnwald and Pauline Martinet want to create more awareness about femicides – through documentation, research and education – and have developed a media guide on how to report about femicides. I created the pictures for it.
