Head, Heart and Hands: 25 Years of Schumacher College

Inspired by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore's vision, Schumacher College uses head, heart, and hands to teach its student body not only knowledge but wisdom by encouraging creativity and service. Set in the grounds of the historic Dartington Hall in rural south west England, the college has gained an international reputation as much for its pioneering approach to student life as for its innovative courses. Students experience what is described by some as 'deep immersion' as they explore themes around ecology, economics and spirituality, while sharing the responsibilities and the struggles of living together as a community.
