So many crises – and yet, there are those who develop and implement new ideas. Gerald Häfner, head of Social Sciences at the Goetheanum, introduces individuals who are working on building “tomorrow‘s world.”
Human societies are undergoing complex transformation processes: At present, the climate crisis, the search for appropriate forms of coexistence, the status of the individual and digitalisation are all drawing attention to issues of relationship.
The European Alliance of Initiatives for Applied Anthroposophy (Eliant) advocates cultural diversity and choice in Europe. Its petition for an age-appropriate use of digital technology ‘For a Right to Screen-free Day Care Centres, Kindergartens and Primary Schools’ will run until the end of the year. Eliant has recently become a partner of the World Goetheanum Association.
The Corona pandemic highlights the complex ways in which life forms interact. When disruptions occur, they lead to stress symptoms that can have a destructive effect. The Leadership of the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum is working on multidimensional solutions based on its understanding of life.
The pandemic has uncovered so many systemic problems on a global scale that almost everyone sees the need for a drastic paradigm shift. The World Social Initiative Forum will host monthly web-seminars suggesting individual ways of dealing with social issues, starting with ‘What now? Social needs of today’ on 31 July.
