Interview

Three questions for Oskar Jenni

Oskar Jenni is a senior developmental paediatrician at Zurich Children's Hospital. As founder and director of the Academy. For the child. Giedion Risch, he is committed to greater social acceptance and appreciation of the diversity of children.
Herr Jenni, wie ist die Akademie. Für das Kind entstanden und welche Visionen verfolgt sie?

The establishment of the academy is based on the commitment of Monica Giedion Risch, who founded the «Stiftung. For the child» in 2018. The focus of all our projects is the promotion of child development. Above all, our academy is committed to ensuring that the great diversity of children is more widely accepted and appreciated in society. Every child is different - and this variability should not be seen as a source of insecurity, but as an enrichment.

Under this guiding principle, we at the Academy bring together the wealth of knowledge on child development from many different disciplines and use it to offer different target groups practical, easy-to-understand information. It is particularly important to me that we work together - across the boundaries of different scientific disciplines - to promote the interests of children.

Um welche Themen geht es im Vortragszyklus «Kosmos Kind»?

The lectures will address very different aspects of childhood. I am delighted that we have been able to attract a number of renowned experts from various disciplines - including neuropsychology and media psychology, developmental paediatrics and psychology, education, philosophy and economics.

An wen richtet sich der Vortragszyklus?

For all those who deal with children and young people in their private or professional lives and are looking for well-founded answers. This could be parents, but also professionals from educational, therapeutic or clinical fields. The aim of «Kosmos Kind» is to fulfil their information needs with an interdisciplinary range of topics.
