International Dalton Café

Today we have warmly welcomed the Dalton International community from Australia, Austria, China, Japan, Poland, The Netherlands and Turkey. It was wonderful to see you all!

The goal of the first Dalton International Café was to raise awareness and understanding of Helen Parkhurst legacy as a global influence in our rapidly changing world. The main theme of our today’s meeting was “School of the Future”.

With this today’s meeting we hope to inspire all Dalton Participants to praise your daily Dalton work, and to return to your today’s activities with renewed energy and vigour.

As with all international gatherings both online and in- person, we had today the unique opportunity to connect with each other and share our common Dalton experience both in theory and practice.

Hope to see you all in April in person during our International Dalton Conference in Izmir!

Below the detailed program of our meeting:

The new book about Helen Parkhurst in English.

We are delighted to share with you the picture of the book about Helen Parkhurst written by the board member of Dalton International and a lecturer at Saxion University in Deventer, Rene Berends. The book will soon be available to order in English language.

 

It is a book about a woman, who was a global advocate for radical changes in the teaching of all the children. Her progressive and timeless ideas concerning the hollistic development of children are a continuous source of inspiration for our Dalton International community.

Rene Berends will be one of our speakers during Dalton International Cafe on 23 of November.
