Portuguese Waldorf School Association joins ECSWE
Portugal
The upgrade of the Portuguese association from guest status to official membership brings the number of official ECSWE members from 26 to 27

Dur­ing the Gen­er­al Assem­bly on 14th June, ECSWE mem­bers approved the request of the Asso­ci­ação Por­tugue­sa de Esco­las com Ped­a­gogia Wal­dorf (APEPW) for full mem­ber­ship in ECSWE. The approval as a full mem­ber marks an impor­tant step for the Por­tuguese Wal­dorf move­ment and ends a long peri­od of indi­rect rep­re­sen­ta­tion by the Span­ish Aso­ciación de Cen­tros Educa­tivos Waldorf. 

From now on, the 4 Por­tuguese Wal­dorf schools, 5 kinder­gartens, and 566 pupils will be direct­ly rep­re­sent­ed by ECSWE rep­re­sen­ta­tive Pedro Miguel, who pre­vi­ous­ly attend­ed Coun­cil meet­ings as a per­ma­nent guest.

The upgrade of the Por­tuguese asso­ci­a­tion from guest sta­tus to offi­cial mem­ber­ship brings the num­ber of offi­cial ECSWE mem­bers from 26 to 27.
