How it works

How it all works

How to join, what you’ll find inside, and how we look after each other.

Joining takes a few minutes

There are two ways in: as a person, or as a school or initiative.

For students, parents, teachers and alumni.

  1. Create an account 3 min

    Sign up with your email address and confirm it. It helps keep WaldorfMinds a place for real people.

  2. Tell us a little about you 5 min

    A few words, and whether you’re a student, parent, teacher or alum. A photo is up to you.

  3. Look around

    Read Reflections, wander through the Gallery, or look for an exchange or an event near you.

  4. Say hello

    Send someone a short introduction. The conversation only goes on if they accept, and members under 18 have extra protection.

  5. Share something

    A thought, a photo, a painting, or a question.

For Waldorf schools and kindergartens, and for initiatives that work with them, like farms that host exchange students.

  1. Find your school on the map 2 min

    The app shows the Steiner Waldorf World Map from steinerwaldorf.world. Your school is probably already there.

  2. Claim it 5 min

    Tell us who you are and how we can reach you. If your school isn’t on the map yet, we’ll show you how to add it.

  3. We check it within 24 hours

    Someone from our team looks at every request by hand.

  4. Share what you’d like

    Open days, bazaars, festivals, exchanges, projects, or an article for Learn.

  5. Be easy to find

    Families, future exchange students and other schools can find you and get in touch.

Four calm areas

Instead of one endless feed, the app has four areas, each with its own purpose.

Reflections & Gallery

Share thoughts, photos and moments from school life with the whole community. The Gallery is for the things you make, from a painting in class to a concert.

Events & Exchanges

In Events, verified schools share bazaars, open days, performances, talks and festivals. In Exchanges you’ll find exchanges, internships, au-pair stays and volunteering at Waldorf schools and kindergartens, or on farms that host students.

Learn & Forum

A growing collection of articles about Waldorf education, plus resources from Waldorf Resources. In the moderated Forum you can ask questions and think them through with others.

Map & Chat

The map is the Steiner Waldorf World Map from steinerwaldorf.world, made by the Freunde der Erziehungskunst and the Hague Circle. We’ve embedded it so you can find schools, kindergartens, training centres, federations, ecological projects and much more. In Chat, a conversation starts with a short introduction and only goes on if both of you agree.
