Abstract

The final chapter of this book details individual topics associated with Waldorf education. In the first article, Albert Schmelzer discusses intercultural education, specifically comparing the foundations of intercultural and of Waldorf education, presenting some essential building blocks in the concept of the Mannheim Intercultural Waldorf School. He finds that Waldorf education encourages diversity and increases linguistic education as opposed to state-sponsored education methods. Next, Carlo Willmann examines religious education in Waldorf schools, concluding that Waldorf's positionality in religious pluralistic concepts provides students with a high tolerance for religion. Next, Edwin Hubner shares how Waldorf education stands in comparison to technological advancements and media, determining that both Waldorf education and technology encourage human development. Finally, M. Michael Zech covers school autonomy and collaborative governance, highlighting problems associated with over-regulation and independent school systems.
