Dear friends and colleagues,
The Michael Oak Kindergarten in Cape Town, South Africa, invited children from the Zenzeleni kindergarten near the townships to their Waldorf 100 festival. In preparation, they cultivated little plants and collected food as a gift for the children in the townships.
Many other events are taking place this year around the world to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Steiner/Waldorf education. Hopefully, the outcomes of all these festivals and conferences will be as nourishing and flowering as the gifts to the children in the Zenzeleni kindergarten.
May the time at this turning of the years contribute that each of us can find a way that the ideas and feelings we have during these events can give us strength and inspiration for the future.
With warm wishes on behalf of the IASWECE coordinating group
Philipp Reubke
