Preparing for a Culture of Empathy: Embracing All Our Children
by Karine Finser
March 22nd at 7:30 pm
Open to the public
Basement of AWS Magnolia Campus
531 Haywood Rd. Asheville, NC 28806

We have a lot to learn from our children. Karine Munk Finser will share some of the stories children tell in paintings and words, that bring to light some of the challenges children carry when they struggle in the classroom. The importance of welcoming our children into a culture of kindness, imagination, and joy, supporting their emotional intelligence lies at the heart of Waldorf Education. Rudolf Steiner thought that we are preparing for a future time when it will be impossible to walk by a fellow human being who suffers without feeling it as our own suffering. This evening will be an opportunity to look at our inherent creativity, and how we can discover empathetic practices to meet our children both as parents and as teachers.
