Dear friends of the Youth Section Worldwide

It's only one week to go for our end of year colloquium "Questions of Belonging" from 4 - 5 December.  

We are delighted to announce that there will be local groups gathering across the world including Egypt, Lithuania, Germany, Portugal, Sweden,  Switzerland and the United States!

Contributors are Constanza Kaliks, Mariano Kasanetz, Menna Saed, Till Hoeffner and Ronja Eis.
This event is the Youth Section's annual research colloquium, which always takes place in December to deepen on a topic or question that the Youth Section is concerned with, or that young people around the world want to research. This means that by joining, you are contributing to a better understanding of the themes of identity and belonging from the perspective of youth!

Participation is free of charge, though we kindly ask you to make a donation (every little amount helps) to support the work of the Youth Section. If you prefer, you can also consider donating to your local Youth Section group.

We hope to see many of you there! If you have any questions, we are here to help you and guide you through.

With best wishes from the Goetheanum,

Andrea de la Cruz & Ioana Viscrianu
on behalf of the organising team

RONJA EIS & TILL HÖFFNER ON "IDENTITY BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL AND STRUCTURES"

In 2015 they were elected to be board members at the WaldorfSV. They worked as members of the Youth Section at the Goetheanum from 2019 -2021.
SUPPORT THE WORK OF THE YOUTH SECTION
In 1924 Rudolf Steiner made a call to the youth of his time with the words ‘stick together with an iron will’. This was in order to overcome the great differences in perspectives and because, in Steiner’s words, “Sticking together is what is most necessary if we hope to accomplish anything today with regards to life’s great issues. […] Eventually, you may realise that the greatest of your youth was knowing how to stay together’. (R. Steiner, 1924, GA217a)

In this spirit we would like to make an appeal to our members and friends of the Anthroposophical Society to support young people to come together despite these difficult times we live in. All donations will go towards scholarships and basic infrastructure to initiate projects by and for young people who are seeking to meet one another and share their spiritual striving.

We thank all our donors and supporters, and specially all the Members of the Anthroposophical Society who make our work possible today and always.
