Dear friends and colleagues,
In the midst of the very busy winter season for those in the Southern Hemisphere, and at the beginning of high summer for those in the Northern Hemisphere, we are sending you a short e-newsletter from IASWECE.
In it you will find an invitation and also a concern from the IASWECE Birth to Three Working Group, as well as an essay by Lourdes Tormes Granados that expresses how much we can all learn from the very youngest children.
Another article describes how Waldorf education is finding resonance in Myanmar, and finally, we are very pleased to introduce to you our new re-designed IASWECE website.
with heartfelt greetings,
Philipp Reubke

The IASWECE Birth to Three Working Group is preparing a study on the subject of sleep.
