A ESCOLA - Transformative Learning for Sustainable Living



O site www.schumachercollege.org.uk tem tudo super completo sobre a escola – informações, vídeos, fotos, etc. Transcrevo aqui dois parágrafos do livro Gaia's Kitchen que resumem seu conceito:

"Schumacher College was founded in 1991 upon the conviction that the world-view which dominates Western civilization has serious limitations, and that a new vision is needed for human society and its relationship to the Earth. It seeks to promote the human-scale values in which E.F. Schumacher, author of Small is Beautiful, so passionately believed."

"Through it's work, Schumacher aims to explore, to transform and to help lay down the foundations of a new world-view. Key thinkers, writters and activists from all around the world engage with an equally international group of students to examine the critical issues of our time. Intellectual inquiry is only one part of a unified education that embraces physical work, field trips, meditation, celebration and creativity in a mosaic of learning that reflects the wholeness of life. People find refreshment - and often a 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."
