„Engelberg. How Waldorf Education Helps People Grow. Told Through the Example of a School.“
Zeitenspiegel author Uschi Entenmann researched how children and teenagers learn at a Waldorf school: „Children who start school in 2020 will graduate in 2032 and retire in 2080. Waldorf education is based on an educational concept that aims to foster not only individual abilities but the whole person, including „heart and hand.” We wanted to know how this approach is concretely implemented in everyday school life and whether an educational philosophy developed a hundred years ago offers answers to the challenges of the coming decades. In this book, teachers and students from all grade levels share their experiences.”
The concept was implemented by a team of photographers and authors from Zeitenspiegel together with teachers from the Freie Waldorfschule Engelberg in Winterbach.

„We have education systems worldwide that don't allow for mistakes. This leads to them robbing children of their creativity.“

„Schools in most countries are still organized according to the old assembly line model of industrial society. Today's knowledge is fixed in a curriculum, and all students are taught according to it. Instead, we should focus on the competencies that will be crucial in the future: creativity, entrepreneurship, and openness to new things.“
Andreas Schleicher, Education Researcher
