Creating beauty/sustaining life in the shadow of war
You can join the growing global community dedicated to
Supporting Waldorf in Ukraine
an initiative to support and facilitate Waldorf school communities in North America
in supporting Waldorf Schools in Ukraine.
Every day, dedicated, inspired, and courageous Waldorf teachers and friends in Ukraine come together under great stress and enormous challenge to create beautiful, loving & creative spaces where children can play, learn and grow in relative safety & freedom in the shadow of war.
We can help them.
A community is growing in the Waldorf movement in North America and around the world committed to standing with our colleagues in Ukraine offering moral, spiritual, personal and financial support to help these schools survive. Since the war started in 2022 many individuals and groups have helped schools in Ukraine.
As the war continues into its 5th year, our help is needed as much as ever.
Schools across North America are becoming partners, accepting students and families, connecting as pen pals, creating social and artistic projects, and raising money to help.
We cannot stop the war. But we can fight against the effects the war heaps on our colleagues and the Ukrainian families and children they serve.
