The Council for Curative Education
The Council for Curative Education and Social Therapy maintains relationships with and between centres for anthroposophical curative education and social therapy and their associations all over the world. The network covers more than 550 centres in 40 countries, 30 national associations and 60 training centres.
The Council makes it possible to work in a committed and fruitful way on common issues, matters of concern and problems that go beyond national boundaries.
Individual countries and special subject groups send their representatives to the Council. All gather for a closed conference annually.
The Council is part of the Medical Section, School of Spiritual Science, at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.
