Peter Van Alphen

Peter van Alphen started his career as a music teacher, followed by 9 years of primary teaching at a Waldorf School in Cape Town, South Africa.  During the transition from apartheid to a democratic South Africa, Peter pioneered a teacher enrichment program in disadvantaged communities around Cape Town.  This led to the establishment of the Centre for Creative Education in 1993, a Waldorf teacher training centre.   From 1997 Peter, together with Ann Sharfman, began part-time teacher education programmes in East Africa.  As Pedagogical Leader at the Centre for Creative Education, Peter is responsible for lecturing and the development of teacher education programmes.  Blog: www.petervanalphen.wordpress.com
