A child’s face in a Beirut refugee camp changed Berndt Ruf’s life. The founder of a number of Waldorf/Steiner schools in Germany, Berndt had already learned to apply some of the methods of Steiner education to children suffering the effects of trauma. Now in the aftermath of the 2006 war in Lebanon, Berndt recognised the impact of severe trauma on the child’s face and knew he had the methods, and the people, who could help. Berndt went on to found the organisationEmergency Pedagogy without Borders, an international movement that works to ameliorate the impact of acute trauma on children in disaster situations. Since that moment in Beirut, Berndt has led 160 interventions around the world, from war zones in Lebanon, Gaza and Iraq, to earthquakes in Nepal and Haiti, floods in China, typhoons and school shootings in the Philippines, and locally, in the aftermath of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Berndt has been here again recently providing further training for members of the Australian Emergency Pedagogy without Borders team, and he kindly recorded this episode of Steiner Voices XYZ.
