Over the past month, we reached out to people that have worked together with Jacinta on different projects over the years. 

We are beyond grateful for all her dedication and work for the Section, and appreciative that she is still a core part of carrying this year's February Days event at the Goetheanum! 

It was a dream that I had again and again. I was at a crowded bar, a man approaches me, grinning. I try to avoid him and turn away, but he follows me. A snake curling around his waist is trying to bite my leg. I try to get my distance and turn to run.

In May of 2024, during the international Co-workers' Gathering in the Netherlands, while looking back on the original intentions of the Youth Section, one of the tasks that came into focus was the development of a kind of youth-oriented Anthroposophy. Maria Röschl, who was the first leader of the Section for the Spiritual Striving of Youth, and Rudolf Steiner intended to rewrite the basic books in a way that was accessible for people as young as 14, 15, 16 years old.

We kindly encourage you to register by Saturday, February 1st, so we can get all the needed logistics in place. 
See you there! 

We are searching for ways how we can bring biodynamics into the world. Does something have to change to make biodynamic agriculture the conventional cultivation of the land, or do the people have to be enlightened on certain topics? What is it that the future needs? 

We have a lot of questions, and we are always searching for answers.

On the second Saturday of January, we had the opportunity to host a global network call; learn from one another’s work, what has happened in 2024 and what is coming in 2025 as well as hear updates from global projects and working groups. 

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! 
Please register by Saturday, February 1st, so we can get all needed logistics in place. 

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. 

Einstieg im 3. Trimester möglich: MALEREI (7. April bis 20. Juni 2025)
JETZT ANMELDEN! Ab Oktober 2025 beginnt das neue Studienjahr.

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!
