Project description

This project will 1) study the educational ideas and philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, 2) but also examine in which way these notions were and are applied in daily educational practice in Flanders between 1954 and today, and 3) question to what extent specific implementations of his ideas can offer an alternative to the prevailing logic of the market in education.
