The Euro­pean Coun­cil for Stein­er Wal­dorf Edu­ca­tion (ECSWE) is an inter­na­tion­al non-prof­it organ­i­sa­tion (AISBL). It brings togeth­er 28 nation­al asso­ci­a­tions, rep­re­sent­ing over 800 Stein­er Wal­dorf schools across Europe. Our mis­sion is to sup­port Stein­er Wal­dorf edu­ca­tion and pro­mote free­dom in edu­ca­tion at the Euro­pean level.

In 2025, ECSWE con­tin­ued to expand its impact through EU sup­port and strong col­lab­o­ra­tion with its mem­bers and part­ners. We advanced work on sus­tain­abil­i­ty and green edu­ca­tion and on a cur­ricu­lum frame­work. We dis­sem­i­nat­ed the results of the HERMMES project, our EU co-fund­ed project on media edu­ca­tion and planned fur­ther devel­op­ment in this field. We col­lab­o­rat­ed with Euro­pean Com­mis­sion, Coun­cil of Europe, UNESCO, and oth­er organ­i­sa­tions in the field of teacher edu­ca­tion. Our mem­bers’ active con­tri­bu­tions to coun­cil meet­ings, project devel­op­ment, and advo­ca­cy efforts strength­ened our col­lec­tive voice at nation­al and Euro­pean levels.

Many thanks to all our mem­bers, friends, and part­ners for anoth­er suc­cess­ful and enrich­ing year.
