The ENSWaP Hour 4
Challenging times - childhood in times of crisis - An introduction into ways of strengthening today’s children in schools and at home. Worldwide humanity experiences times of growing crisis - may it be a pandemic, war, forced migration, climate change and/or poverty. Today’s children grow up in this global environment. What does this mean for us adults whose task it is to accompany and educate these children. Do we need an extra understanding for today’s children? Do we need extra educational tools? What does the situation require from us? Waldorf-inspired emergency educational organisations like stART international have been working on these questions for more than 15 years and are sharing their knowledge.
