Thank you.
Welcoming Letter from Dr Michaela Glöckler
Dear Participants,
It is a special joy for me, to invite you to attend the first International Kolisko Conference in Malaysia, where I have had the chance to meet so many highly motivated and culturally open-minded individuals.
The first International Kolisko-Conferece was held in 1989 in Stuttgart/Germany, the town in which the first Waldorf School was founded by Rudolf Steiner and blessed by the first Waldorf-School physician Eugene Kolisko, MD. The following Conferences took place in Austria, Great Britain, USA, Finland, France, Sweden, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Taiwan, Philippines, India, Ukraine and Hawaii. Eugene Kolisko was the first physician, who took the decision, to commit his life to the well-being of children and adults through working together with teachers, students and parents in the service of child`s development starting from early childhood to the end of school time. He became a specialist for child development and primary prevention with the tools of constitutional medical treatment, education and self-education. To honour his pioneer work, we choose his name to symbolise the cooperation of people, who work together in the spirit of serving the next generation – and for healthy social structures, lifestyles and ethical banking, business and agriculture.
This conference is prepared and organised by our friends in Malaysia - out of the challenges, questions and real concerns we face in the 21st century,regionally and globally.
I am very much looking forward to this international encounter of interdisciplinary and exchange of experiences – with warmest regards and gratefulness to the organisation-team, by which this very first Kolisko event in Malaysia becomes possible.
