What they argued
The European Council for Steiner Waldorf Education, represents 29 national school associations with over 800 Waldorf schools and 190,000 pupils in Europe. Some of our schools have operated for over 100 years, while new schools are still being founded. Parents and teachers choose our schools in search of an alternative educational path.
PROBLEM DEFINITION The roadmap asks how to make teaching more attractive, which is a question that we can very well relate to. The European Council for Steiner Waldorf Education represents 29 national school associations, over 800 schools, 190,000 pupils. To become a Waldorf teacher, in many countries our schools ask more of teachers than the state does.
If the EU introduces a new legal form for transnational associations, why do these have to be registered at the national level and not in a common European register for transnational associations? One single point of contact for all transnational associations across the EU should be created to facilitate the work of such organisations.
