Programs Around the World

Association for Youth Programs and Orientation Years
In 2024 the Youth Section co-organized the “Youth Education Days” in the Netherlands with the Iona foundation and the De Bildung Academie.
This involved bringing together teachers and students in youth programs, colleges and learning centers to talk about youth pedagogy. Following the many conversations with leaders of youth programs and orientation years, inspired by aspects of anthroposophy, a circle formed to establish an association to continue working together.
The next gathering "Embodied, Contemplative, Relational: Pathways to Youth Wisdom", will take place from October 30. to November 1., 2026 at Unternehmen Mitte in Basel, Switzerland.
