International Campus Waldorf
The International Campus Waldorf (ICW) is an online platform for students of Waldorf teaching programs and Waldorf teachers around the world. It offers courses and lectures and thus creates an international online classroom.
As Dean and Professor of the Department of Education at the Alanus University, Prof. Dr. Jost Schieren has launched the International Campus Waldorf initiative. His motivation stems from the emerging network of academic institutions worldwide that lead and teach Waldorf Education in their BA/MA programs as well as other educational pathways dedicated to Waldorf education.
