A year and a couple of months ago, a small group of young people gathered for the first time in a living room on the slope of “La Cañada”, a stream in the city of Córdoba to explore a new idea brought by two members. An honest meeting, from heart to heart, in which far from any institutional pressure or any external interest other than the participants' own, and without having known each other before, they could give shape to dynamic and profound peer-to-peer conversations. 

Over the last three and a half years, friends of the YIAM group intensively worked to prepare for this conference together with a bigger team. In this report, reflections from members of the group, as well as other people involved, are included.

Each summer, members of the Youth Section in the UK gather together to form meaningful connections and deepen their understanding of Anthroposophy. This year's event, kindly organised by Derek Lapworth and hosted by Alastair and Denise Gordon at White's Farm, focused on two related themes.

From October 4th - 6th, 12 young people from very different corners of Germany met for the second time at the Kulturimpuls Foundation, to devote themselves to the words of the mantras of the School of Spiritual Science.

In October, the fourth edition of FBS (Question! Encounter! Play! in English) took place around the Goetheanum campus. 43 young people came together to create a theatre piece from scratch, including music, costume, and set design.

The after-event film is now available on YouTube!

Government elections were held in Georgia a few weeks ago. Our dear friends from the Youth Society Parzival are being faced with a challenging situation that concerns the future of their work. Niko reports on the current state of the country and the effects this might have.

When we are young, we seek out other young people. Part of the reason for this is that we have a unique connection with the questions of life that in ways, belong to youth. We have a connection with the spirit, with the creativity that flows through all things and beings, that we can sense in other young people as well, and they in us. Life is a drama, not only an interpersonal drama; something much more...

Rudolf Steiner sah, wie in unserer Zeit die Gegenwart des Christus neu erlebt werden kann. Das ist ein Herzensanliegen der Anthroposophie. Und was er voraussagte, tritt zunehmend ein. Auch mögliche Vorbereitungen gab er an. Dazu gehört das Miterleben des Jahreslaufs. Der anthroposophische Seelenkalender erschließt ihn als Weltatemrhythmus von Wahrnehmung und Denken. In den heiligen Nächten lebt das ganze Jahr im Schoß der Erde. Wir wollen es unter uns innerlich aufleben lassen.

A warm invitation to all youth groups to join online to share reflections on the past months and look forward to the coming year of work together! 

At the heart of this event is a strong desire to reconnect with the local culture of the north of Argentina and build bridges across communities. Youth Section friends, local youth, and friends from neighboring countries will be part of this intercultural gathering! Pre-registration is now open.

Ready for another century of biodynamic agriculture? With a living earth being sick at the present, how can we stay connected and keep our inner lights? How can we become lightbulbs for the living earth? As Biodynamic Youth, we are holding a pre-conference before the annual agricultural conference hosted by the Section of Agriculture at the Goetheanum. Join us!

This event is dedicated to bringing thinking into artistry. We warmly invite you to work with us on the living thoughts of Anthroposophy through different forms of art. At the founding of the Section for the Spiritual Striving of Youth in 1924, one of the tasks given was rewriting a number of the fundamental books of Steiner so that they would speak to young people. We wish to bring this intention from the past into the present by guiding a process where, through different forms of art, we can experience thoughts. Registrations are open now!

It's been a number of years since the Youth Section in New Zealand has been active so we decided to do something about that! We are super excited to announce the re-launch of the Youth Section in New Zealand with our founding festival, New Ground. The intention is clear; to create a space where young people can gather together, connect and explore the teachings of anthroposophy. 

Save the Date! We are looking forward to connecting, exchanging, and shaping the future at next year's Youth Conference in Loch Arthur. Mark your calendars! More info coming soon.

A warm invitation to the intergenerational encounter where we will explore how to support independent and creative schools and innovative approaches to learning and how such projects can be accessible to all. How can we ensure that education is both free from undue influence and create a system of education that supports diversity on a wide scale? Save the date and join us in July!

The 2025 summer conference will take place at Hawthorne Valley Farm in upstate New York. We hope to bring together over one hundred young people from across the country to this beautiful Biodynamic farm and Waldorf school! This will be an opportunity for youth, ages 16 to 35, to encounter the questions and challenges of our time and engage in conversation, work, and art to meet their lives actively.

We, the Youth Initiative Africa, are a group of African youth between the ages of 16-35 interested in Anthroposophy. Our group was officially established in July of 2023 after two members attended the first Youth Section Co-workers' Gathering in Dornach. Currently, we have members from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, and South Africa. With great joy, we'd like to invite everyone to our upcoming youth conference and safari!
