World Teachers' Conference 2027

The theme of the World Teachers' Conference 2027 reflects the very essence of school life: Learning – weaving into what is there, into what precedes us, what we long for and connect with when we are born. Working – transforming the existing world through active participation, by imprinting ourselves into world events and self-becoming in this process.

Why are we in school day after day? We remind each other of this - children, young people, teachers - «…for learning and for work».* The life of the school.

Learning and working are elementary tasks of humanity. Expanding our understanding and knowledge of the world and shaping our shared reality are the foundations for this. They form the substance of destiny in adult life. The school of life. Being a teacher brings both dimensions together. Life in school becomes a school of life, where pedagogical practice and knowledge of the world have to come together and permeate each other. The school of life and responsible world citizenship legitimate our teaching and enable us to tell the children and young people every day: this is the world that we share.

During the conference we will share and deepen, with colleagues from around the world, these dimensions of being teachers, of being teachers in the world and of the world. Rudolf Steiner did not tire to emphasize these dimensions in the pedagogical courses he gave in England, for without this task there is no school. School is a place where learning and work, participation and transformation have always been practised and lived.
