The task of the school doctor in Waldorf education today 23-26 October 2021 - International further training for school and kindergarten doctors ...
Rudolf Steiner

Dear Colleagues,

After we had to cancel our large conference last year – prepared jointly by teachers and school
and kindergarten doctors – only a few days before its start due to stricter coronavirus travel
regulations, we have decided this year to meet again “among ourselves” – the school and
kindergarten doctors. We would like to invite you warmly to this in an international context and
look forward to seeing you at the Goetheanum in Dornach from 23 to 26 October 2021. We are
proceeding on the basis that a smaller, professional group-specific conference is easier to realise
at present. That is why we have decided not to catch up this year on the large interdisciplinary
conference planned for last year.
In addition, we are looking forward to turning our full attention once more to our task as school
doctors. This has led to new demands as a result of coronavirus. In many cases it is necessary to
mediate and contribute to mutual understanding in the context of the sometimes widely
divergent views on coronavirus in the school communities and the way they deal with the
corresponding measures. Hence we want to focus our work mainly on the topics connected with
the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic on the individual pupils. What consequences do
children and young people in the different age groups have to wrestle with in particular? How can
we support them and especially the teachers and parents who accompany them? This will be set
out in the three main lectures in the morning, broken down by age group. Because we were all
able to gather a lot of our own experiences in this respect in the last year, we have deliberately
allocated a lot of time to the discussion on this topic, both in small groups and afterwards in the
plenary session.
The subject of the collaboration between teachers and school and kindergarten doctors is a
centrally important accompanying melody here. We would also like to report on a joint working
group of teachers and school doctors led by Klaus-Peter Freitag from the German Association of
Waldorf Schools. Encouragingly there is currently an intensive exchange of views on how we,
teachers and school doctors, can together formulate the profile of the work of school doctors at
Waldorf schools – initially for Germany – combined with a clarification of the legal and data
protection issues concerning this work. On this, too, we want to offer space for joint discussion.
Early in the morning we start, for everyone who wants to attend, with the Act of Consecration of
Man. Claudia McKeen will be happy to give a short introduction on Saturday evening to anyone
who is not yet familiar with this special service.
Before the lunch break, there is the possibility to move and practise eurythmy therapy, creative
speech or Bothmer® gymnastics together, or to play chamber music (important information about
this at the end of the programme).
In the early afternoon, we will again hold our workshops which, as in previous years, will extend
far beyond our immediate conference topic with a diverse and varied range of subjects.
In the late afternoon immediately on Saturday, Georg Soldner will brings us up to date on the
topics of Covid-19 / long COVID and coronavirus vaccination in children. On Sunday, the focus will
be on spiritual community building, and on Monday media teacher Prof Paula Bleckmann will visit
us again and look with us at the requirements of age-appropriate media education, requirements
which have changed so much as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
During the evenings, there will be a lot of time for exchanging views about our work as school
doctors, but also about the task mentioned above of school and kindergarten doctors as
mediators in the pandemic. Where did we succeed well in that? Or where did we fail to meet our
aspirations?
Experiencing art together creates a special connection, especially with the power of music. So we
have included a piano concert on Sunday evening with Beethoven’s late piano sonatas, played by
Hristo Kasakov.
As our annual conference is also an integral part of our module-based specialist training to
become a school and kindergarten doctor, we are particularly pleased to welcome newcomers to
this field and all colleagues who are interested in school and kindergarten medical topics or in
questions of child development in general – as well as those who bring a wealth of experience
with them. In doing things together, in encounters and in interchange we can all learn from one
another.
We would especially like to invite international colleagues who feel that our programme and our
form of collaboration appeals to them, so that we can come together in a large group and enrich
our schools and kindergartens with new impulses. We will try to organise the required
simultaneous translation (so please indicate the language relevant to you when registering).
