Humanistic Education for the Balkans – Our Kosovo Project

Education Knows No Borders

In May 2026, we took an important step: The Humanistic School Switzerland expands its reach into the Albanian-speaking world. Our project "Kosovo and Balkans" makes humanistic education accessible to children and families in Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia.

Why the Balkans?

The region has a young, education-hungry population and at the same time an enormous need for alternative educational approaches. Many families are looking for ways to holistically support their children – beyond the purely performance-oriented school system. This is where our project comes in.

Local Partnership

We work closely with local educational stakeholders to culturally adapt our courses and anchor them sustainably. The courses are offered in Albanian and take into account the specific needs of the region. Our goal is to train local multipliers who can independently carry forward the humanistic educational concept.

First Steps

We are currently in the setup phase: establishing contacts with schools, universities, and NGOs on site, translating our materials into Albanian, and planning first pilot courses for autumn 2026. The response is overwhelming – many families and educators have already expressed their interest.
