International Conference 2024 – Inclusive Social Development

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to celebrate this special year together and are warmly inviting you to join us.

Everyone in our field of practice is welcome to this conference. We will try to communicate in a language that is easier for everyone to understand. As we are also striving to discover new ideas, subjects may arise that are still difficult to grasp for all of us.

During the conference the Section for Inclusive Social Development will be founded. Inclusive Social Development – this part of the name of the new Twelfth Section at the Goetheanum will also designate the content of the conference. With this theme we would like to develop ideas for the future.

And we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s course on ‘Education for Special Needs’. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner gave 12 lectures to a small group of people. Important themes were presented. For 100 years they have served as leitmotifs for work with people with diverse needs and abilities. Out of this impulse the most varied organi- sations and places have arisen in over 50 countries worldwide, and we look forward to getting to know them.
