As I grow older I become more and more grateful to my parents for sending me to a Steiner school. It may not work for everyone because we are all different, but I sincerely hope that everyone in the future is at least allowed the opportunity to experience this beautiful education system. Thanks Mum and Dad!
Best decision my wife and I ever made: removing our two from a kindly but clueless primary that began to shut them down, to go to the newly-built Steiner school in Hereford, UK. They grew into competent, peace-loving, fulfilled adults - and kept their bright-eyed smiles and natural curiosity. Bravo Rudolph!
wonderfull, i would at anytime says it depends on the teachers and parents in the school, not an old man with the beard :)
apart from his ideology on race reincarnation. He was full of shit there
Very encouraging to see schools from around the world in collaboration.
This is exactly the type of things we parents were talking about in regards to sending our children to our small Jewish school. We're not Waldorf, but i'm looking for inspiration from Waldorf (as well as others), and we said public schools put far too much emphasis on mathematics over literally everything. Over rhetoric, over literature, over critical thinking, over creative thinking, over ethics and social justice, over emotional health.
Kids these days can learn plain information online over a summer. What we need to teach our kids is HOW to learn, as well as things like responsibility, integrity, diplomacy, teamwork.
That's right! STEM is all the rage now, forget about literature, music and theatre. Progress and Science walking in step to the glorious future of destruction!
I’m from Latvia and now I go to nine grade mby my English isn’t good but I go to the waldorf school in Latvia. I LOVE IT❤️
I highly recommend waldorf. It’s not just for the child, but also for the parent. You don’t send your child to waldorf without becoming a part of a community
I went to a Steiner school from 1st-8th grade and I wish that my parents had taken me out of it before 3rd grade. I’m in my 20’s now and I am and will always be behind in terms of education. I think it works for some kids, but if at some point your kid tells you that they want to go to public school or something else, listen to them. Your kids aren’t dumb, they know themselves better than you do.
Finally education of the mind, heart, and body!
learned all i needed to learn there.
ONE LOVE
such a privilege attending and/or teaching at a Waldorf School. Thank to all devoted participants...
My compliments to the creators and contributors of this film. I feel that you captured what I most love about Waldorf education beautifully.
I love the concept of waldorf education. Steiner's spiritual descriptions are so close to my heart. However, Waldorf education is so expensive where I live and this price tag seems to defeat its purpose. How can we raise whole human beings if only those well off can afford it. I wish I could send my children to a waldorf school instead of subjecting them to a flawed public education that wants to put them into a box
That is one of the great sadnesses of Waldorf in these times.. Governments don't like to support alternative forms of education that don't fit they're close-minded criteria, so the school's are forced to be private, which does indeed defeat Steiner's intention of them being open to all people from all backgrounds. Many schools have bursary options so perhaps that's something you could look into? My parents couldn't afford to send myself and my sister to Steiner but they spoke with the school and were able to make some sort of arrangement. The schools will help you if they can, but we also need to challenge our government's policy.
yup. ive been in waldorf my whole life, and im so glad my parents made the decision to bring me into waldorf.
It's not hard to give your child home education with a waldorf style. It just takes a parent to be willing to teach and be motivated to plan lessons for their child. Homeschool is the best option along with co ops and church so that the child can make friends.
Warms my heart to see this video. My children attended the Waldorf school, and are now beautiful, kind, caring, gifted adults. And now I'm delighted to watch my grandson going to the Waldorf school also. Ican't think of a better education system in the world!
how did a school accomplish to make your children more beautiful and more gifted?
wouldnt your children have learnt to be kind and caring from you?
What a beautiful documentary about HEALING waldorf education spreading around the whole world....it put tears of joy and gratitude into my eyes....thank you so much for this and for helping our children to keep or rebuild their integrity, open minds, compassion and inner freedom. I am sure that Rudolf Steiner would be very moved to see this huge movement today.💗💗💗
I agree all. My two daughters have been studying at the Waldorf school, which we call as a Steiner school in Finland. I miss these times. They also studied 3 months in Hungary as we lived there for a while. The school and the atmosphere were the same
What a great initiative to explain Waldorf education. Never seen it done so well before. Congratulations! Maria
We did three years of the Parent-Child Program and loved it. What a wonderful base it was for me as a new mother and for my daughter. I always felt so grounded after leaving those sessions. I also felt supported in my choices. My daughter met her oldest friend (she is now 8.5) when they were eight months old and we have a special connection with them. We still try to attend various sponsored events and we never miss a holiday fair. We unfortunately did not continue due to the high cost of the tuition. I think a lot of people would love to attend a Waldorf School but the cost of tuition makes it unavailable. Hopefully this is something that can be worked on in the next 100 years-providing this kind of wonderful and amazing education. We were so glad to have it been a part of our lives, even if it was for a short time. Lovely film.
You want to look at children as you want them to look at you: as a human being capable of thinking but even more important, FEELING!!! Emotion is the ultimate trigger for CREATIVITY! And many humans forgot that LOVE, PASSION, IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY are key to ensure the development of the soul and an entire civilization! There's a reason we have BOTH HEMISPHERES IN OUR BRAIN, LOGIC AND EMOTIONAL! Use both and give children the OPORTUNITY to CHOOSE!!
Nah. Waldorf isn't a choice for kids usually.
Nice production and great initiative. Delivers a beautiful message.
Hope it sows some seeds :)
"Apart from all of the challenges, there is hope for the future"
What a wonderful resource for inspiring our school communities about why we do what we do. I look forward to sharing this next term and working together with staff and parents to celebrate 100 years of Steiner education.
Pine Hill Waldorf Alum 2008. Waldorf made me who I am today, really hope the movement spreads.
@Future Hindsight why do you think to shut Waldorf education?
@Future Hindsight Hi, alphabates and numbers are introduced on grade 1 age 6/7, which is normal. Also kids get co up with public school well by grade 5. The block method takes wholeness in subject which is nice. Gardening and Agricultural and emphasis on art are subject make it different from rest. I have my kid in Waldrof school, and is learning and more to that he is Happy.
May be your case to change school at grade below 5, is what make you feel uncomfortable...
But I still believe first few years should be focused on physical growth and not mental growth... Remember old saying "Health is real Wealth". I wish even public school to postpone learning abstract subjects like numbers and alphabates till grade 1. In kindergarten only play and communication to be focused.
@Future Hindsight Don't take as debate, just want to talk.
1. My kid is in grade I, Waldrof school do introduce each letter. Each letter take three session in main lesson. Day 1 story of alphaland / Number land. Day 2 form a alphabet by arranging children to form shape and walking over shape and so... Some movement. Day 3 letter written to main lesson book with pic where it can be imagined like 2 with duck, M with Mountain and so. This alphaland and numberland are even prescribed in syllabus book designed for teacher.
2. We were very well informed that we need to have patience at least until grade 4 finishes and by that time kid will be equipped with required skills to adjust on public school if needed.
3. Regarding reading also I am not agree, we have a reading session once a week where a artical read aloud and then everyone put their own view around topic this helps to understand book represents someone's view and we all can have somewhat different view....for kid it starts from grade 3 or 4. In our school parents also invited to attend read aloud session.
4. Books avoided in early grades to avoid over stimulation but in higher grade multiple reference book read to understand the topic and perspective. Math or science book avoided as its tought different way to make concepts clear.
There could be school having focus on making huge business... But not all.
Waldorf school made my childhood great, but it screwed me over for the first half of middle school academic wise. Despite that, 10/10 would send my kids to a Waldorf school.
Nice! Vackert, globalt och informativt.
I am a Waldorf student from Taiwan , really happy to see this Video !
Finding waldorf education changed my life. I am a better parent. A better wife and a friend
Such a nice initiative ! Congratulation ! I look forward to see this movies being spread in the world :) Thank you
Excellent! Well done and very inspiring.
This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. To really get a glimpse of the profound work that is going on on a global scale. It's easy to miss this amazing initiative going on. Well done!
Congratulations on a beautiful film. Hope to see more as we get closer to 2019.
There's a hope for all of us!
Beautifull vídeo!
Thank you!
What a gorgeous video! Thanks!
Steiner is mentioned twice. "Steiner said" once. Yet doesn't this film transmit the founder's spirit with perfect authenticity? Kudos to the creators, directors, teachers, participants...and especially to this film's editors who demonstrate that less is more.
Even though I was bullied and shit and other stuff happend I loved my old school and miss the time and stuff I learned but not the peoples.
great film, thank you
We are a Waldorf inspired homeschool ✨✨
Future Hindsight seems like you're a miserable bully 👍🏼
In a Waldorf school, kids don't have to wait till they are 9 to learn the alphabet. Maybe in your class that was your experience - not all teachers are the best or maybe it took that long for that class to get to that point! But can you establish a general truth on the basis of your own unsatisfactory experience?
We are also a Waldorf inspired homeschool :) much love to you and your dedication to your children ❤️
Ich gehe auch auf eine Waldorfschule :)
Okay a bunch of promising sounding but very abstract ideas. Is there a more concrete explanation of the system and idea behind this way of education?
Wonderful movie!
It's a wonderful video! Thanks a lot! When I see all those kids' eyes, I believe there's a hope for our home, the Earth.
I'm proud to be a tiny part of all this as a waldorf teacher...
I believe child growing up with current surrounding environment with digitalize, faster, fighting etc.. will impact their mindset. I think need two way communication or heart talk is important.
🙂
thanks for such great messages to the world!
wonderful
what a gorgeous video! Our son starts Waldorf school in December 🌸 ~mama vlogger 🌸
Well how did it go? Were you confused by all the philosophy stuff? And the spells?
I know i was. Altho i chose for it in 7th grade.
Also invest in computer classes outside of school. Cause it's an important skill now. But waldorf is against it a lot.
what a wonderful and thoughtful film. thank you.
wonderful. let's spread it - the video, and education of and for the human being!
so glad to be on this journey.Grateful
Waldorf ❤️
I loved the film! But it kept me wondering for a bit... why the expansion map of Waldorf schools don't show Brazil, which has a huge community of Waldorf schools?
Waldorf Alumni 1997, it made me a good person.
I really wish that I could have gone to a Waldorf High-school as well.
an education for our future.
Beautiful video.
🙏
우와아아아아앙
What is that song the group of kids in China with the pianist is singing?
Learn to change myself as a Waldrof parent.
You don't have to fully. You don't have to use full organic, philosophical, Eurythmics, head heart hands parent to be a good one. Or to fit in.
Just make sure you have lots of time open for it. Cause looots of parental involvement.
I just graduated from it. And now I'm done. Done with 12, i have my european portfolio now. Altho i started in 7. So may be different.
Can we translate this into Lithuanian?
Praise the Lord my dear brother and sister I'm pastor Joshua Williams from India, Andhra Pradesh so please pray for us and my ministry ministry and contraction to the churches
IT ISN'T ONLY FOR CHRISTIANS.
and uhm eventho we have saint jan and michaels day. We don't "pray" we just say our spells.
I wish to put my child in waldrof school, is there any in abudhabi
cried from beginning to end - beautiful
look at it
Tem com legenda em Português?
Logo há legendas em espanhol. Muitos lembranças, Henning
not the same thing, guys...
quase a mesma
You can add the option to let people translante to their own language!
would love to translate it to portuguese!
Thank you, João, we´re already working on a Portuguese translation -> WITH Brazil in the map! :-)
The Nigerian guy seems like a very happy teacher. Yet I am sorry that not all Waldorf schools have preserved their identity in this super-technological world.
Very inspiring! I'd love to help spreading this video to as may people as possible. I know we have many Portuguese Waldorf Schools. Can I volunteer for translating it to Portuguese?
Dear Luis, thank you for your nice response! We regret that we didn't´t notice that Brazil doesn't´t show up on the world map in the film, but we have this in mind for a future edition. Please take a look at the world map on our website, which has all Brazilian schools on it. Should any school be missing, please tell us - and fill in all the activities which you plan in Brazil!
About the translation: Can you please send me your eMail-address to info@waldorf-100.org?
It isn't easy to make a video. Things happens. It is a great video.
How right you are ... :-) Thank you for your feedback! Oh, and please send us your e-Mail to info@waldorf-100.org for further contact about the translation. We´re also in touch with Luis (further down)
Well, I saw Brazilian Reinaldo Nascimento, talking about his Waldorf School in a favela in São Paulo, Ute Craemer's life-long project. I believe this is a good part in the film.
And actually I am part of a new-born Waldorf School: www.graosaber.com.br/
We have been working since 2014, but our first classes in the elementary grades just started this year, 2017.
It would be great if you could include us on the map!
thank you
Dera Luis, we are already working on the map to include Brazil for further editions - this was a regrettable mistake, but not intentional!
Hand Heart Head
Waldis forever !!!!!! :)
I wonder how they deal with introverted closed off geniuses who absolutely need solitude to come up with great ideas.
My dreams come alive!!!!
But only a few can afford it... so...?
I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WALDORF TEACHER IN SWEDEN. DENMARK OR GERMANY
Paradise on earth through Waldorf schooling? Not all is as nice and peaceful as promised. There are structural problems that make checking and balancing difficult. This sometimes leads to low quality staff performance.
Totally! They don’t mind a bit of abuse at all
español por favor -spanish please!
It is online now! 😊
Of course, this video is also related somehow to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Sad.... That part really made me doubt the purpose of producers. Nothing educational. More of a promotional video.
Steiner zschool Austalia, expenses
Spanish please !!
online 😊
Gracias!!!
Great film appart from the tedious, extremely repetative and static music that begins and ends in the key of a minor... Why?
This is beautiful but ... make it complete by including Palestine and not changing it to Israel when those teachers were obviously Palestinian .. inclusion is also key of giving the next generations a better world
Is this a school for hardley disabled children or what?
It's quite hilarious and pretty informative to see that the supposedly "enlightened" Waldorf pedagogues in this "infomercial" claim to know exactly what a good education ought to be, and to subsequently hear them spout some vague pseudo-"wisdom" and a bunch of meaningless platitudes for the entire length of the video !!!
My same thought
Could you explain more on what you mean? Initially, such a comment comes across as pretty vague [ i.e very broadly] to me, and assumes you know better? In respect, M
would not recommend the Waldorf School to anyone! not even my worst enemy if not in Sweden in kalmar 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Agnes Adeen me too lol weird schools
Why not?
@@ShoshanaSarahLJ because they make you do cultish stuff like singing to trees
Am glad we are sending our daughter to this school,,,,
