Question! Encounter! Play! Fostering encounter, inclusion and creativity between young people through art
Frage! Begegne! Spiele!
Question! Encounter! Play! is an inclusive arts learning program that aims to bring together young people from different places around the world through Anthroposophy and art.
In a week of creative collaboration, participants live and work at the Goetheanum Campus, creating a theatre play from scratch, embodying in the process values of human dignity and community spirit.
Anthroposophy in Action
Under the guidance of a team of social workers, educators and artists working with the General Anthroposophical Section, the Youth Section at the Goetheanum and the Anthroposophical Society in Switzerland, the participants create an entire play together.
They write the script, act, make costumes, design sets and compose original music. This hands-on experience brings Anthroposophy to life, promoting personal development and a strong sense of community.
After an intensive week of work, the project culminates in a final open-air performance, shared with the public at the Goetheanum Campus.
