We are proud to celebrate the latest MotherSchools graduates from Southern Austria – congratulations to the women in Villach! The Graduation highlighted the programme’s powerful impact, as one graduate shared: “Each woman came with her own story, [and] we listened to each other, we supported each other, and together we found solutions.”
MotherSchools is more than a programme – it’s a movement of mothers building resilience and peace. It’s about building up the social capital of women everywhere, and creating trusted, safe spaces to share stories and break down barriers and misconceptions. “I see my life now in a different way, in a better and more positive way.”
We extend our sincere thanks to our local partner, PIVA – Projektgruppe zur Integration von Ausländerinnen und Ausländer – for their dedication in implementing MotherSchools in Villach. And thank you to the Austrian Bundeskanzleramt for making this project possible.
