What is the idea behind the International Campus Waldorf?
The International Campus Waldorf was launched in 2021 during the Covid period. The format offers the opportunity to bring together Waldorf students and those interested in Waldorf from all over the world in an online classroom. We now have over 3,000 registrations. The individual lectures from previous years are also available for download. This time, the topic is “What can we do better? The challenge of transformation in Waldorf education.”
What specific content will be covered in the lectures?
The topics that will be addressed are: Digitalization, diversity, decolonization of Waldorf education, teacher recruitment, community building and much more.
What inner attitude is necessary for the further development of Waldorf education?
It can only ever be about giving children and young people the best conditions for development in this global world and in these times. This is only possible if Waldorf education itself and those involved in it are prepared to continue to develop.
