Schumacher College U.K.
Country: | United Kingdom | Description: | Schumacher College is an international centre for ecological studies based in the beautiful Devonshire countryside of south-west England. The College welcomes participants aged 20 to 80 from all over the world.
Schumacher College was founded in 1991 on the conviction that a new vision is needed for society, its values and its relationship to the earth. Over the last decade the College has become a centre of excellence with an international reputation for the inspiration, quality and breadth of its teaching.
In the beautiful Devon countryside, away from the pressures of everyday life, participants enjoy a mixture of learning, reflection and the exchange of ideas and experiences. Much of the unique character of the place comes from the way the College community each day creates an expression of a sustainable lifestyle. As well as immersing themselves in course material, participants share in essential activities which include cooking, housekeeping and gardening.
The College environment creates a sense of the wholeness of life and provides the context for a deep and potentially transformative learning experience. At the College people find refreshment and often, new direction. They find that they have touched a source of inspiration and are reminded that there are others who share their deepest values about life and its meaning. | Website: | | Address: | Schumacher College,
