Teaching Life-skills — What can we learn from Waldorf practice?

Edu­ca­tion in a fast chang­ing world is a huge chal­lenge. The only cer­tain­ty we have is that the future is uncer­tain and unpre­dictable. So what will help our chil­dren to tack­le uncer­tain­ty? More the­o­ry, knowl­edge, math and sci­ence? Or resilience, life-skills and self-reg­u­la­­tion? And how do we do that?

Join us for a webi­nar explor­ing how life-skills can be cul­ti­vat­ed in every­day school life. Draw­ing on decades of Wal­dorf prac­tice, we will look at what these skills and com­pe­tences actu­al­ly are, why they mat­ter more than ever, and how they are and can be woven into teach­ing in mean­ing­ful, age-appro­pri­ate ways.

This is a chance to deep­en your under­stand­ing of why so much of what hap­pens in a Wal­dorf school is delib­er­ate­ly skill and com­pe­tence build­ing. Whether you are a par­ent won­der­ing what your child is real­ly learn­ing, a teacher seek­ing to strength­en the human dimen­sion of your prac­tice, or a school leader think­ing about what edu­ca­tion is ulti­mate­ly for, this webi­nar offers both inspi­ra­tion and ground­ing in Wal­dorf experience.
