Switzerland might not be considered as the ideal place to host an accessible international conference for young people. However, there is a great significance in the space where we host this conference: at the Goetheanum, an important place for the General Anthroposophical Society, the School for Spiritual Science as well as the Waldorf movement. The costs that come with a conference like this consist of lodging, food and the conference organisation (this includes things like contributors, team meetings, transportations, workshop material, the list goes on). And then we are not putting one big gift into the budget: the wonderful spaces where we will host our conference, the Goetheanum campus. 
In total, the real costs come to 550 – 600 CHF per participant for the conference. We are asking a financial contribution of 275 CHF and are also offering financial support. To make this conference possible for everyone, we are currently fundraising about 185.000 CHF. 
We have gone through an intense grant writing phase, and are now onto the next step: a small fundraiser! 
In this spirit, we would like to make an appeal to the schools’ networks, family members and friends to support young people to come together despite these difficult times we live in. We would be very grateful for your support and will to help young people find their way to the Goetheanum!

Every donation you make will go to a scholarship fund for participants who are in need of financial support. 
The money that comes in from people that buy a supporter ticket, will go into this fund as well. 
We will keep you updated on this page how the fundraising for this fund goes!
