KARLSRUHE (NNA) – The planned deployment of an emergency education team from the Friends of Waldorf Education to Turkey to help Syrian and Iraqi refugees has been delayed.

The international Waldorf organisation told NNA on Monday that the delay was due to “details connected with the entry formalities”. The Friends of Waldorf Education hope, however, that these remaining questions can be resolved quickly and that the deployment can still take place.

The team was to due have left for to Batman in south-east Anatolia yesterday to work there with traumatised children. A group of local psychologists and teachers is also waiting for training in emergency education by the Waldorf team of experts.
