The intention behind the workshop Over the 5 days of this program, the intention is to explore a part of Waldorf curriculum and see how it underpins and serves the changing consciousness of growing children. In Steiner Waldorf schools children experience the unfolding of geography as a series of changes in consciousness: a transition from wisdom-inspired time and space from within in grade school, via symptomatic events involving the world outside to an outer understanding from the Cosmos to the Earth in High school. A modern, cross-curricular approach where aspects such as unequal terms of world trade, global communication, climate change, gain increasing importance. Questions such as – ‘how does this contribute to preparing children to meet the real world when they leave school and how does this empower children to be active in co-creating a new future?’ will be discussed at length, during the five day intensive workshop. Lakshmi will bring pictures of child development in relation to changing consciousness. From his long experience as a teacher of children aged 6 to 18 and a teacher educator, Sven will refer to examples from his practice in teaching geography and drama in primary and high school, including leading us in active recitation. On the penultimate day Jayesh will give a presentation on two of the important lessons in geography in high school - Surveying and Oceanography. For teachers who have been cooped up in schools and at home working and attending teacher education programs online for the last 2 years, we have introduced an in person morning session from 9.00 AM - 12.50 PM (IST) where Bothmer Gymnastics, Movement in grade classes and "Mackensen's Science for upper primary grades in Waldorf Schools" will be presented by Ramu Karnam, Ramya Seshadri and Jayesh , respectively. This will also be available online on zoom, however the interactive Q&A sessions will be limited, during this period. |
