6th International INASTE Congress
Chances and Challenges of
Global Education
The 6th international INASTE Congress will take place at the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna from April 21-23, 2027
The 21st century is marked by various crises and challenges that can only be addressed and overcome on a global scale. Global thinking and globally conscientious action is becoming increasingly important. This poses new challenges for the field of education. The 6th INASTE Congress will explore these challenges and examine and discuss global and universal educational tasks and approaches from different perspectives.
As an internationally widespread educational approach, Waldorf education sees itself as a global pedagogy and is therefore challenged to continually ask itself whether and how its concepts and practices can be universally applied – and where these need to be individualized in dialogue with local, regional, and cultural influences, and become enriched through dialogue with other scientifically founded educational approaches.
In addition to keynote lectures, there will be short lectures and discussions on themes regarding philosophical, social, ethical, and didactic perspectives on global education.
