toward a deeper understanding of children This will be the last year of the Nova Institute. Twentytwo years ago we began our work with the idea of building a bridge connecting Waldorf schools with the mainstream educational community so that the fundamental principles of an innovative spirituallybased education could serve a greater number of teachers and parents. Event Archive Nova Institute seeks to bring fresh insights into parent and teacher education through a deeper understanding of children. This understanding is based on a comprehensive view of human development focusing on a childs need to engage in three distinct ways actively emotionally and thoughtfully.
