A lecture by Constanza Kaliks followed by a lecture by Josep Maria Esquirol, both held at the World Teachers' Conference 2023 at the Goetheanum (10-15 April 2023).

Children, young people and adults need inner strength, health and resilience. They need intellectual, emotional and social skills to understand and accept the earth, themselves and their fellow human beings. What can we renew in our educational practice to develop what is needed to live together?
