The intention behind the workshop Over the 5 days of this program, the intention is to explore a part of the Waldorf curriculum and see how art, music and movement are underpinned in its pedagogy. In Steiner-Waldorf schools children experience the unfolding of these as a process, which is inextricably intertwined with their inner and outer learning. How can we enable young people of the 21st century to develop a truly global understanding of the challenges, without a sense of cynicism and hopelessness? How strong should their local roots be so that they can realise their destinies with a global perspective? The Waldorf approach to art, music, movement and rhythm is a process that unites polarities and helps in integrating the will, feeling and thinking forces. It is deeply personal, artistically inspirational and scientifically accountable at the same time. As Rudolf Steiner put it, “In studying the world, we find ourselves. In studying ourselves, we find the world.” 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, Paul, and Sven will bring pictures relating to this theme from different perspectives of classroom teaching and child development in Waldorf schools. All sessions will be in person, except for Sven's workshop which will be online. |
