“We need courage, real courage! We need the courage to say that the life of the world must be re-established on totally new foundations. This courage is something we learn very quickly or not at all.”
Rudolf Steiner, from an address to the young people in 1924.
About the Youth Section
The Youth Section is dedicated to fostering and encouraging gatherings, exchange, deepening, and initiative amongst young people (14-28) interested in the anthroposophical movement and society and the School for Spiritual Science.
The School for Spiritual Science is founded on contemplative practices and orientations intended to expand contemporary knowledge and understanding in the direction of spiritual dimensions of the human being and the greater world, and the renewal that this expansion can offer in all fields of contemporary society and life.
The Section's goals are fostered by a global network of affiliated groups that are each active in unique ways. Members from affiliated groups communicate together regularly through the Section's newsletter, quarterly network calls, regular co-worker gatherings, and international youth conferences. The nexus of the global work is located at the Goetheanum, in Switzerland.
The aims of the Section include youth-organized and youth-led activities, intergenerational work, and offering an understanding that can support individuals who are working with Anthroposophy and young adults through events, research projects, publications, and dynamic media.

Support the Global Access and Project Fund

Structures for Freedom: Social Riddles of Education
A Global Youth Invitation for rethinking education and freedom, together. This initiative invites young people to question, create, and re-imagine the structures that shape our learning and becoming.
