9. What will I learn in these conferences?

​

Every year, we re-affirm our original intent for our Handwork Conferences:

​

• The goal of our programs is to inspire and stimulate research, discussion, and peer learning around practices and principles of handwork taught in a Waldorf setting;

• To deepen our understanding of our work and refine our skills; 

• To balance the outpouring of the school year by reconnecting with peers and rediscovering balance, passion and purpose; 

• To strengthen teachers' roles in leadership with the backing, confidence, and unity of many handwork teachers as supporters. 

• To support homeschoolers in bringing the wonder and beauty of the Waldorf handwork curriculum to their children.
