About [Edit]

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.

Schumacher College focuses its courses on a range of ecological themes:

• globalisation, sustainability and alternative development models
• ecological perspectives on psychology, spirituality
and philosophy
• holistic science : chaos, complexity and systems thinking
• ecological design and technology

The Programme offers a variety of residential courses including :

• A core programme of two and three week courses
• Five-day courses for business people on the theme of Business
and Sustainability
• Five-day courses for educationalists : The Roots of Learning
• A one-year full-time MSc in Holistic Science
