Celebrating 100 years together!
NEW: Forum 47 (EN/SE)
(to be booked via the official online registration form)
What does an organisation need during a transformative process?
Vad behöver organisationer under en förändringsprocess?
What is required of the individual, what is required of the leadership in a transformation process? When do we encounter resistance and how do we deal with it, within ourselves and within the organization? We invite you to talk and share your experiences with us.
Vad krävs av individen, vad krävs av ledarskapet i en förändringsprocess? När möter vi på motstånd och hur hanterar vi det, inom oss själva och inom organisationen? Vi bjuder in er till samtal och att dela era erfarenheter med oss och varandra.

Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to celebrate this special year together and are warmly inviting you to join us. Everyone in our field of practice is welcome to this conference. We will try to communicate in a language that is easier for everyone to understand. As we are also striving to discover new ideas, subjects may arise that are still difficult to grasp for all of us. During the conference the Section for Inclusive Social Development will be founded. Inclusive Social Development – this part of the name of the new Twelfth Section at the Goetheanum will also designate the content of the conference. With this theme we would like to develop ideas for the future. And we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Rudolf Steiner’s course on ‘Education for Special Needs’. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner gave 12 lectures to a small group of people. Important themes were presented. For 100 years they have served as leitmotifs for work with people with diverse needs and abilities. Out of this impulse the most varied organisations and places have arisen in over 50 countries worldwide, and we look forward to getting to know them.
Workshops
You can choose to join one of the three-day workshops.
Forums
Every day offers the opportunity to participate in a different forum.
Open Spaces
Every person who would like to offer something, is invited to contribute. At the start of the conference a large blackboard will be hung up and you can enter what you would like to offer. Contributions that are planned already are: Tours at the Goetheanum and through the two exhibitions, and conversations on the regular working groups of the network of the Section for Inclusive Social Development.
Two exhibitions
In the center of the exhibition on the first floor of the Goetheanum stands the figure of Kaspar Hauser. The fate of the “Child of Europe” still moves us to this day. Greg Tricker’s paintings are the point of departure for an ar- tistic dialog with people with support needs from the Kaspar Hauser Foundation in Berlin (DE). Paintings by 14 artists will be shown in this exhibition together with works from Tricker’s Cycle. The second exhibition arose out of the collaboration between the artist Victoria Oettl and Hannes Weigert with the weekly verses of Rudolf Steiner’s Soul Calendar, presented in artistically painted lettering. Complementing this exhibition the Forum 44 will offer an opportunity for creative activity.
Market Stalls from around the world …
… throughout the Goetheanum invite us to learn about activities worldwide.
