Perspectives on Inclusion and Social Responsibility at the Goetheanum
Operating as the global center of the Anthroposophical Society, the Goetheanum in Dornach near Basel frequently hosts conferences, arts performances, and conversations addressing contemporary social questions. In an interview published through the Goetheanum Weekly, Vanmechelen discusses how his upbringing in northern Belgium and a family background rooted in social work shaped his dedication to community engagement. He describes inclusive social development not merely as an organizational framework, but as an ongoing human endeavor requiring humor, perspective, and inner flexibility.
For those interested in listening to further discussions surrounding these initiatives, audio interviews are available on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or directly via the Das Goetheanum website podcast page.
