Lectures & Seminars
Lectures and Seminars – in person and online
Sven Saar offers talks, workshops and lectures on a range of Steiner Waldorf topics. These last between 75 and 90 minutes and can be adapted to public or professional audiences. Most talks use audio-visual projection, and all have been described as engaging, entertaining and inspiring.
Below are some examples. All lectures and seminars can also be delivered online: extensive practice during the Covid restrictions has allowed me to develop a lively and effective presentation style. You can choose from a large variety of topics, including
- Anthroposophical study and Inner Work
- Professionalism and Teachers Standards
- Geography
- History
- Form Drawing
- Mentoring
- Lesson planning and Implementation
- School leadership
- The Moving Classroom
- The planetary qualities as a help for understanding pupils and getting to know one’s self
- Sex Education and Gender
- Equality and Diversity
- The role of Drama and Recitation
- Working with parents
