Since the creation of virtual realities, the question of "real or artificial?" has developed a strong impact on the work of parents and educators and needs to be discussed and explored in order to help children and adolescents to understand the world.
Stories are relevant in every area of our lives. The art of storytelling not only serves as a powerful tool for engaging children's imganination, stories also enhance learning processes. Moreover, stories help young people to develop their own voices and find their places in the world.

My name is June Lin, or Yu-chu Lin in Chinese. I am from Leichuan Waldorf School, Taichung, Taiwan. I am the initiative and the founder to this school. I have been working in this school from kindergarten to high school for 27 years. I’ve just finished the translation of the book “Growing up Healthy in a World of Digital Media” from Michaela Glocker. It is on the way of publishing in Taiwan.
I hope there will be some topics covering these parts in our course:
How can we make media tools good use and be good aid of us;
How can we teach our children learn the way to hold themselves, but not to loose themselves to the media whenever they have to work together with the media tools or approach to the media before they are independent or mature enough.
Dear all, my name is Fien Van der Haegen. I am happy to meet you in this course. My professional life shows a diversity of roles: artist, Waldorf art teacher, and staff member in the domain of art, culture, and media of the Flemish guidance service. The use of media is a natural given in the area of my creative work.
I love to explore artistic ways. I think the best teachers are eternal students, that’s why I love to learn by being with you in this course.

Hi,
My name is Zsuzsi Jung. I’m from Hungary. I’ve been working in Waldorf schools for seven years now as an English teacher and I’ve been a class teacher for two years now. I’ve started working on this topic with the parents in my class on day one and got a bit stuck.
So, I’m really looking forward to this course.
Best,
Zsuzsi
My name is Slavomir Lichvar. I have been teaching in elementary Waldorf school since 2007 – as language teacher, gardening teacher and class teacher. Ever since I have been connected to Slovak association of waldorf schools and kindergartens. I am interested in questions of media curriculum as I think it is a crucial point of deep teacher-student relation – especially when the teen-age starts.
