To address the lack of training for educators in this therapeutic approach, a course titled “School Inclusion: From Observation to Guidance” was developed in partnership with FEWB and Escola Livre Areté. This course is an extension of a remote course conducted in 2021, which involved 60 teachers from 15 regions of Brazil. It is based on theoretical foundations in Goethe and Steiner’s phenomenology, as well as on the observation of children’s development—essential pillars not only for Waldorf pedagogy but also for creating Individual Development Plans (PDI), which are mandatory documents for monitoring the development and learning of students in special education.

To ensure educators from all schools, including those within the FEWB Social Organizations Network, could participate in this new course, the institution received support from Mahle, which subsidized the attendance of 15 educators at the in-person immersion meetings.
