Dear Colleagues, Parents and Friends around the World!
It is during the first years of a human being's life that he or she learns the most. This is indisputable, the amount of learning that a young child is capable of acquiring is enormous. But how do children learn? Do they learn through explanations and contents? Or do they have other innate capacities to learn? What do they require from us for learning to take place? And what do they need to learn? What will life require of them in the future?
Rudolf Steiner spoke of education as a 'social question'. What did he mean? Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the renowned French writer, said in his biography: "If we want a world of peace and justice, we must resolutely place intelligence at the service of love."
In this new issue of the newsletter, we invite you to reflect on this important topic, and we hope that it will inspire you with new ideas for understanding and approaching the world of the young child. And please make sure to read all about IASWECE's projects and international activities!
Warmest greetings,
Lourdes Tormes, on behalf of the IASWECE Council
