Course Overview
Decision making in Steiner/Waldorf organisations
Embark on a learning journey with colleagues from around the world!
We’d like to invite you to join us in a discourse about decision making processes and questions on leadership in Steiner/Waldorf organisations. Building on the basis of 100 years of experience in Steiner/Waldorf kindergartens, schools and other educational organisations as well as on anthroposophical ideas, we want to explore various perspectives on leadership structures and hope for a generative dialogue. Together we will explore the potential of mutual inspiration for leadership concepts that can answer the pressing questions of our common future.
