IV.46 El impulso pedagógico de Rudolf Steiner y la Antroposofia
The Pedagogical Impulse of Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy
Constanza Kaliks | Sunday – Wednesday, 4.45 – 6.15 pm
El impulso pedagógico de Rudolf Steiner se basa en un estudio del ser humano que entiende el yo y el conocimiento como actos de reciprocidad con el otro y el mundo. Esta perspectiva antropológica tiene consecuencias para la relación del ser humano consigo próprio y com el mundo, que se reflejan y se pueden desarrollar en la acción pedagógica.
Rudolf Steiner's pedagogical impulse is based on a study of the human being which understands the self and knowledge as acts of reciprocity with the other and the world.

IV.47 What Makes Waldorf Special?
Jost Schieren | Sunday – Wednesday, 4.45 – 6.15 pm
Waldorf education is very successful in practice worldwide. However, its theoretical background is criticized. With regard to anthroposophy, it is considered dogmatic, ideological and unscientific. The course deals with these accusations, looks at the special characteristics of Waldorf education and examines arguments that can be used to counter the criticisms mentioned.

IV.48 Socially Deprived Pupils in the Upper School
Lutz Gerding | Sunday – Wednesday, 4.45 – 6.15 pm
Puberty is no fun. But what if you have to go through this crisis alone? If parents are not interested?
Socially deprived pupils often do not have a choice.
We do. It is up to us, the teachers, to drop them – or to support them.
It is the aim of this workshop to share experiences in order to come to a better understanding of the so-called difficult teenagers.
It might also help us to come to a closer understanding of who we are.
