Waldorf education in the Berkshires of Massachusetts
Faculty Chair, Stephen Sagarin, will speak at the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner School on “Our Children, Our Technology, Our Future” on Thursday evening, January 21, at 7 p.m. High School and older middle school students are encouraged to attend. See you there!
Given what we know about the development of children, how can we imagine a healthful future with technology? What characterizes technology as a human creation, and what ethical and educational demands does it require?
