About this Event
SEKEM-Festival goes into the second round! After the premiere of the SEKEM-Festival 2024 in Fulda, we will meet this year in Austria, in Graz. Here, too, there are many SEKEM friends who support the vision in their local environment with great commitment.
Once again, we want to create a joint work: Organised by SEKEMers from Egypt, Austria and Germany, we are looking forward to the participation and co-creation of many SEKEM friends from all over the world.

Day 1 // 10. October 2025

Day 2 & 3 // 11. & 12. October 2025
SEKEM Days: We Are the Change
Waldorfschule, St. Peter Hauptstraße 182, 8042 Graz, Austria
What wants to die? What wants to be born? In SEKEM, in our local context, in the world?
With these questions we want to initiate a co-creation – with SEKEM community members, SEKEM friends and all participants of the Festival. Together we are the change!
The SEKEM Days will not only offer insights into the SEKEM Vision Goals but also providing a space for innovation and collaboration. We believe that what the future needs can only be created out of a synthesis of different individual potentials, cultures and mindsets. So let us work together on the change!
The process will be phramed by inspiring inputs from SEKEM members, experienced change makers and common cultural activities.
During Day 3 we will discover the beautiful and historic surroundings of Graz while reflecting and deepening our experiences of the former day.
Here are some impressions of the program:
- Insights and exchange on SEKEM’s vision for 2057
- Co-creation process with SEKEM community members
- Joint lunch and dinner
- Cultural inputs and contributions
- Excursion to inspiring places at the countryside near Graz
