Moving Child has been supporting the trauma education workshop at the international Montessori school Campus di Monaco in Munich since 2019. Moving Child is now also funding the trauma education workshop at the elementary school founded there in 2022.

The international Montessori school Campus di Monaco, which opened in September 2019, is a very special kind of school. Its integrative approach, which involves working with young people from different backgrounds, cultures, religions and financial situations, is exemplary. Half of the pupils are children and young people who have experienced flight or migration themselves. An important teaching approach at Campus di Monaco is to educate all pupils to be open-minded, democratic and tolerant, which strengthens young people’s personal responsibility in our diverse society. Other focal points include language development and preparing students for the world of work and careers, as well as preparing them for secondary schools such as technical colleges.

We were impressed by the Montessori school’s inclusive approach and creative program right from the start, which is why Moving Child has been supporting the Campus di Monaco since 2019, particularly the trauma therapy workshop, where pupils who have fled their country and often have to deal with serious experiences and trauma are guided in small steps towards regaining self-confidence and experiencing self-efficacy. We have now extended this support to the local elementary school.
