How Is the Development of Mental Health Reflected in the Curriculum?
Description
A contribution by Michaela Glöckler
How Is the Development of Mental Health Reflected in the Curriculum?
In this lecture, you delve deep into the question of how a healthy emotional life develops – as the centre of our humanity and the foundation of genuine social competence. You learn why language is rooted in feeling, how Waldorf education strengthens emotions and can prevent depression, and what a devastating role digital media play in emotional maturity. Inspiring, critical and full of concrete food for thought.
A contribution by Michaela Glöckler to the School Doctors’ Conference of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum in October 2025.
