Social Questions
The social question is a central theme in the biography of Karl Köng and therefore appears in all sections in various ways.
Resumen
One could say that he wanted to develop not only a social art, but also a social "Gesamtkunstwerk" (holistic work of art). For a community to become a healing one, it must first and foremost include the artistic realm.
This section deals with questions of social life and community building. In the volume "Becoming Human – a Social Task" we have summarized King's work on the social threefolding.

Der Charisma-Faktor, Book by Kurt Becker (only in German)
Being happy with Sisyphos
To live charismatically means to recognize the destiny of one's own life, to follow this destiny and thus to follow a path which only one on it's own is able to walk. Ironically, the tragic Sisyphus becomes for Kurt E. Becker to the charismatic individualist of modernity, which rises together with others to what no individual creates.

Establishment of an Emergency Pedagogy Facility in Norway
The Norwegian and potentially Scandinavian team for emergency education is in the process of being established - we are three women living in Norway and Sweden who have already participated in several outreaches. We also have several potential members of the team. We are in close cooperation with "Friends of Waldorf Education" and have taken part in the seminars there and with the Norwegian and Swedish Association of Waldorf Schools.
It all began with an outreach of two of our members to the Friends of Waldorf Education in Lesbos, Greece and subsequent outreaches of the three of us and further outreaches in Greece, also in cooperation with other organisations.
At the moment our work consists of establishing contact with the Waldorf Schools and finding out how a possible cooperation could look like.
The next step is to found an association, write our guidelines and create an information page on the internet.
