Introduction

This periodical serves to bring the work of the Pedagogical Section into closer contact with the international Waldorf school movement. It contains reports of the work and goals of the Pedagogical Section as well as observations made in visiting schools around the world. It is meant to be a place where the questions concerning the work in the Waldorf schools can be posed, and where research projects and their results can be shared, thus strengthening the growing consciousness for the international and cosmopolitan nature of the Waldorf school movement.
