Dear Friends,
I live in the Middle East in a mixed community of Muslims, Christians and even some Unitarians and Buddhists, etc...Additionally the community is mixed between French, Canadians, Americans, Egyptians, Lebanse, Saudis, Chinese, Indians, Turks, Germans, Hungarians, and more. This is one reason among many that I follow an enriched Waldorf curriculum. I spend hours every month designing a curriculum that integrates Buddhist stories, Arabic language, world holidays and many other variants on the cultural variety we have here. I think that other Waldorf schools would bennefit from having a broader world view as well. What do you think and do any of you integrate other philosophies, languages and stories from "the East" into your Waldorf curriculum? I would be interested in corresponding with anyone who does and sharing ideas.
