Youth Section at the Goetheanum - School of Spiritual Science AN INVITATION! (Re)Search Colloquium 2019
What we need now is a commitment, people who are willing to commit for the common good, which at the end of the day is the same as committing to oneself, isn’t it? (Re)Search interviewee 18,

A WARM INVITATION TO
The Youth Section (Re)Search Colloquium Saturday 7th December from 09:30 until 16:00 at the Goetheanum Library
Are you a young person longing to share your views about the world, life, our future? How often do you feel you have the space and time to think about the important questions of our time? Are you someone interested in hearing from young people's voices what reality looks like to us, the younger generations? Would you like to step into a courageous process of self-reflection and initiative accompanied by the Youth Section's research team?
If any of these questions resonate with you, then you might want to register for our Saturday colloquium at the Goetheanum. The event is free of charge and it will be a mix of presentations on our research project's insights, and facilitated conversations on some of our key questions (youth commitment, freedom, challenges, our future)
WHAT IS OUR RESEARCH ALL ABOUT?
The Youth Section at the Goetheanum's research project is about shining a spotlight on being young today in our world. For two years now we have been interviewing and holding spaces for 18-35 year olds to raise their voices about what matters to us and what motivates our actions. We have been asking you: what will the world look like in the future if what
lives within you becomes real? What will you do to make that future come about? We would like to share some of our observations with you this next Saturday, as well as ask you some new questions. Here's what will happen:

ABOUT PREVIOUS (RE)SEARCH EVENTS
"In the interview I experienced a lot. I was touched by the power of silence and the connection without any words" (Re)Search workshop attendee
The insight into what lives within the youth of today was invaluable, sparking many interesting topics of conversation. It was wonderful meeting other young people passionate about Anthroposophy and what it brings to us as human beings". Evan, young artist and designer, 2018 (Re)Search Colloquium attendee
"One of the biggest things I learnt was to make contact with other people through the conversation subjects that really matter do them. These very personal subjects open doors to bigger ones. I learnt that giving space is more important than the things I want to say in that moment. That i'm able to give one hour of attention to someone felt good, but that the other felt really seen was much more beautiful" (Re)Search methodology workshop participant
