Curative Education and Social Therapy

The impact of Karl Koenig's curative education and its importance for today's call for social inclusion.

Overview

Karl König's basic work on curative education and social therapy has already been published in the Werkausgabe. Volumes on specific issues of diagnostics are in preparation. Since the Camphill movement has a special position in King's life's work, there is a separate section "Camphill movement", in which also related topics appear.

Other aspects, which have their focus in a different area, but are still important for work in special education and social therapy, are in Medzin and medical anthropology (therapeutic work, development of language and movement); in general anthroposophy (sense development) and in pedagogy and psychology (about the child development and the psychic life).

UBUMWE COMMUNITY CENTER RWANDA

A very special project for people with special needs in Rwanda is looking for assistance and partnerships to work more out of Anthroposophic ideas and to connect with the Camphill Movement. They have taken up contact with their closest Camphill neighbour, which is Motse, Botswana - almost 4.000 km away to the South and have had the opportunity to exchange ideas with Camphill initiatives and other intentional communities around the globe as part of the ICSA-conference in July 2019. A process, which started and is under way!
