Staying together

Young people’s lives, their education and studies, are severely affected by the Coronavirus restrictions. The Youth Section is asking for support.

In 1924 Rudolf Steiner called on the youth of his time to ‘hold together with an iron will’. This was in order to overcome the great differences in perspectives and because, in Steiner’s words, “Holding together is what is most necessary if we hope to accomplish anything in approaching the great questions of today. […] Eventually, you may realize that the greatest achievement of your youth was knowing how to stay together” (GA 217a, lecture of 9 June 1924).

In this spirit we would like to appeal to the members and friends of the Anthroposophical Society to support young people to come together despite these difficult times we live in. Because it has never before been such a challenge to meet one another in a living way, we invite you to support a young person with a scholarship to attend one of our three main activities in 2021: the climate conference Breathing With the Climate Crisis from 11 to 14 February, our high school student conference TRUST from 30 March to 3 April and our (Re)Search Summer School from 19 to 25 July 2021.

At these events young people will come together to fulfil their longing to find new trust, to find ways of relating to and working on the climate crisis, and to enter deeply into their own questions.

We would be very grateful for your support and goodwill in helping young people to find their way to the Goetheanum.
