Participando de debates sobre as políticas públicas para a Educação, promovendo cursos para educadores, realizando pesquisas e publicando livros e outros trabalhos escritos e audiovisuais relacionados com a nossa missão, inclusive em parceria com o Instituto Artesocial e outras organizações.
Every Brazilian society must fight so that our children have access to an education rich in human values, art and culture, which encourages freedom and creativity, so that they graduate with the capacity to face the challenges of the future, with a desire to always learn and capable of building a more just, ethical, solidary, inclusive, democratic and sustainable society.
For over 60 years, important pedagogical experience has been accumulating in Brazilian Waldorf schools, which can and should be expanded and shared to enrich public education in Brazil, following the original impulse of Rudolf Steiner, who created this pedagogy so that it could become a pedagogy for the people.
our walk
Ruth Salles Institute é o nome de fantasia da Salles Educação e Cultura Ltda, empresa criada em 1998. Durante quase vinte anos atuamos prestando assessoria a empresas, organizações sociais e governos no planejamento e avaliação de projetos culturais, educacionais e sociais.
Em 2002 apoiamos a criação do Instituto Artesocial, uma organização sem fins lucrativos, com a qual atuamos em parceria para a realização de projetos de formação, pesquisas e publicações.
A partir de 2017 adotamos a marca Instituto Ruth Salles e passamos a nos dedicar à publicação da obra de Ruth Salles, à prestação de serviços editoriais e à divulgação da Pedagogia Waldorf, das escolas que a praticam e dos cursos de formação para professores, através deste site e de nossas redes sociais. Também atuamos em parceria com outras organizações em projetos educacionais e no fomento pela implantação de políticas públicas que objetivem a realização de uma educação básica que seja humanizadora, no Brasil.
