experiencing community
An international community of young people from widely differing countries such as Japan Brazil, Canada, Argentina, South Africa, Russia, and Europe come to the youth seminar to live, study and meet together on a daily basis. Already in the daily life of the seminar young adults, from a variety of cultural backgrounds, get to know one another, and discover both their similarities and differences. Empathy, flexibility and tolerance become the foundation stones for living together. One can experience what it means to be part of this whole human family in miniature, through practising living one of the most important future questions: how to shape globalisation with a human face. Various courses like choir singing, social training days or artistic projects, support this by training, and increasing the awareness for working together in a social way.
trusting ones-self
To find ones orientation in an increasingly complex and fast-living world demands a constant training of lively and independent thinking and judgement. The wide variety of morning courses, a sort of „general study course“ help here. They offer a comprehensive picture of the human being and an understanding of history, the tasks of today and the future and penetrate into the living connections in nature and in spiritual spheres. Through the thorough, critical and undogmatic approach in study-groups with the texts and thoughts of Rudolf Steiner, including the works „Theosophy“ and „Philosophy of freedom“ you will be introduced to the holistic and future oriented anthroposophical approach.
Through independent projects, presentations, discussion and working groups a schooling, both in content and method of dealing with new themes is achieved
A variety of artistic activities such as speech training and acting, eurythmy, singing playing music, clay modelling, painting, and Bothmer gymnastics help to develop independent practise and aim to deepen ones capacity to experience and strengthen self-expression.

shaping the world
We cultivate self-organising capacities. We offer practical insights into various professional fields, enabling meetings with interesting people and their innovative projects, Through these contacts, possibilities may arise for doing a practical during the trimester breaks or after the seminar. Due to the self-organisation of the house and garden, opportunities are presented to take on responsibilities. Individual counselling allow for personal questions about ones own development including concrete vocational advice. Last but not least a wide space for initiative taking is offered, in which you can bring your own interests and questions and take practical steps on your own personal path.
The Youth Seminar aims to train and expand key qualifications that go beyond simply answering knowledge questions. Concentration and overview, creativity and consistency, organisation and flexibility, team capacity and improvisation, courage and initiative-taking strengths are qualities that are cultivated and enlivened then they are the foundation upon which every new life-phase is based. Instead of premature professional specialisation these qualities enable balanced intellectual, artistic social and practical exercising grounds for a healthy development of the whole personality.

We wish to support you to find the necessary clarity to find your own impulses, as you wish to bring yourself into connection with them, and the courage to follow them, so they may connect you to future oriented tasks in the world!
