Schools and youth groups

We make poverty an issue. At a "Night without a roof" - our popular awareness-raising campaign - children and young people experience first-hand what poverty can mean. Organize an experience with your school or youth group that will be remembered for a long time.

Two young people from Switzerland sit in a large cardboard box.

Night without a roof

Sensitization work in 3 steps

A night without a protective roof. Separated from wind, weather, light and disturbing noises only by thin cardboard walls. A unique experience that raises awareness of global poverty and guarantees an enjoyable group experience at the same time.
  • Experience

    Experience is more important than information.

    On a night without a roof, young people experience first-hand what poverty means. To do this, they build their own overnight shelter out of cardboard and sheets.

  • Input

    Tips and tricks for more justice.

    During an interactive input, the young people learn how they can work for more justice and less poverty in a very practical and realistic way.

  • Added value

    Thinking outside the box.

    A night in a slum so that others don't have to: The young people are sponsored for their dispensable night and thus create new prospects for their peers in the Peruvian Andean highlands. 

"Night Without a Roof is one of the best awareness-raising programs for teens in Switzerland. The experience makes a big difference."

David Burkhard,
Youth pastor
