BECOMING HUMAN
Questions for co-creating the future
Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives
Rudolf Steiner
People around the world are currently being faced by many diverse challenges on the individual, social and global spheres. These encourage us to become more creative, form new friendships and develop towards freer and more loving human beings, asking: how can we reach the potential that each of us carries within ourselves?
In an era of mass connectivity, intercultural relationships and social conflicts influenced by social media and virtual reality, how can we define the meaning of connection? How can we overcome our differences to shape a healthy future? What is our task as a generation? What does it mean to be(come) human?
Becoming Human invites you to join a discussion and exploration of these questions through lectures, workshops, conversations, artistic activities and performances. Together we hope to find new ways to work toward a commonly envisioned future!
The Summer Conference is organised by members of Youth Sections from all around the world. It will take place from the 14th until the 18th of July at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.

Architect & student of plant growth. AustraliaI grew up in Australia, so far my work has been the design and construction of small scale wooden building projects. My interest lies where architecture and social work meet. I feel most alive in my work when communities gather and there is room for cross pollination of ideas between disciplines and people to emerge.
