Schumacher College is a unique international educational institution. It provides individuals and groups from across the world with the opportunity to learn on numerous levels about subjects relating to environmental and social sustainability. Set on the vibrant Dartington Hall Estate in the south west of England, the College seeks to offer a positive educational space which integrates the concerns of governments, NGOs, businesses and individuals. Through a range of educational activities, participants are encouraged to consider some of the most urgent challenges of sustainability and to take responsibility for delivering effective solutions in their own working and personal environments. Participants, teachers and staff work together to combine and learn from diverse experiences and knowledge. The context of individual and group learning provides a powerful platform for deep and holistic engagement with transformative learning for sustainable living. The College runs an extensive programme of short courses from 4 days to 3 weeks on a whole range of subjects including economics, business, design, ecology and art. A full-time MSc in Holistic Science, the first of its kind, is run from the College as well as a Certificate in Education for Sustainability. There are regular open evenings, seminars and joint projects happening at the college throughout the year.
