Partnerships of Hope gives an inspiring account of the social mission of Waldorf Education, describing the opportunities and challenges of building Waldorf school communities. If you have wondered about governance, leadership, and decision-making in Waldorf schools and how they relate to Steiner’s social intentions, this book provides a number of insightful answers, placing them into the larger matrix of the political and economic crises facing Western societies. Of particular interest for the future is Schafer’s articulation of the deeper values and principles imbedded in Waldorf Education, values which he maintains are the foundation of a new, spiritually based and healing society.
