Vision
Inspired by the impulse of social transformation from Rudolf Steiner, the “Threefold Social Organism” envisions a world in which everyone can develop their full potential and contribute to change in positive ways out of a free sense of responsibility. We strive for the dignity of the human being and the preservation and care of the planet.
Mission
The Section for Social Sciences is concerned with human relationships in the three spheres of social life: economy, politics and culture. Our fields of work are: poverty reduction, companies with purpose, counselling, emergency education, ethical banking, fair commerce and environmental projects among others.
Our network consists of active people, projects, initiatives and institutions from different fields of work. The synergy among them is a key aspect, making the interdisciplinary and cross-sector approach a fundamental aspect of our work.
We work for the future of human dignity, in this sense we support the aims of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.
