We are delighted to present Anja Zagoričnik Jarm from Slovenia as the recipient of this year’s Scholarship for an course in english in Budapest at the Pikler House. Her dedication to sharing Piklerian principles in parenting and professional fields has become a heartfelt mission.

Inspired by her experiences as a mother Anja began incorporating the core values of respectful care, autonomous play, and self-initiated motor development into her daily life. This passion led her to start Pikler training in February 2023, deepening her understanding and inspiring her to support others.

She now shares these transformative ideas through parent-child groups, workshops for parents, and in sessions on the importance of touch and relationships with registered nurses. Her work also extends to schools for expectant parents, and she is beginning to bring these practices into daycare centers and educational institutions.

"This approach resonates in body, mind, and soul," Anja shares. "It feels right, and I will continue sharing it with all who are interested." Pikler International is happy to support her on her journey.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Liz Hagermann, Debbie Laurin and Rachel Tapping for their careful selection.
