Welcome
To the worldwide movement of anthroposophic initiatives in the field of disabilities, supportive education, social pedagogy and social work. In the Section for Inclusive Social Development, people and partner organizations from over 50 countries work together under the umbrella of the School of Spiritual Science (Goetheanum) to help develop a 21st-century society in which a fulfilling life is possible for all people. Our work focuses on situations where persons are at risk of being excluded from access to education, health and social participation because of a disability or social circumstances. This means that we see our task on the one hand in supporting the individual on his or her biographical path, and on the other hand in creating social spaces in which this individual path can move and unfold.
