Insights Worldwide – 100 Years Rudolf Steiner Education

In 2019, the Waldorf education movement celebrated its 100th anniversary with a publication by the Friends of Waldorf Education in cooperation with Kehrer Verlag. Exclusively for this book, Leica photographers, such as Dominic Nahr and, René Perez, Herbie Yamaguchi, Fulvio Bugani, Sergej Melnitchenko, and Laxmi Kaul, traveled around the world to visualize the distinctive features of each country and its connection to Waldorf education. Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925) – pioneer of anthroposophy, school founder, artist, and social reformer – worked for a new world view in the age of materialism and has gained global recognition for his unparalleled creative power. His drafts for an alternative science, a new educational theory, and new perspectives in medicine and agriculture, have entered into the spiritual heritage of our time and, as an integral part of contemporary cultural life, continue to provide important impulses and inspiration.

Chinese Glossary of Terms

Rudolf Steiner’s written publications are an important basic element for the development of the fast growing anthroposophical movement in China. Unfortunately, these texts are often only inadequately translated into the Chinese language, which is quite a problem given the many terms and concepts coined and created by Steiner himself. Since 2008, a team of translators under the direction of Astrid Schröter has been working hard in cooperation with the Friends of Waldorf Education to develop a comprehensive glossary, which considers the development of the chinese language, philosophy, and history as well the scientific character of the termini technici which Rudolf Steiner introduced as new concepts.

Chemistry Reader

The chemistry reader specifically addresses beginners. It could serve as a tool helping new teachers to develop a chemistry curriculum at a Waldorf school or to consult the reader in situations when there is little external help available. The reader cites authors who have shaped the chemistry lessons in Waldorf schools from 1919 to today. This reader is not designed to provide an exact blueprint for the classroom. Rather, its purpose is to provide suggestions guiding each individual teacher in the development of his or her own teaching concept and adapting the content of the reader to the specific teaching situation.
