Camphill comes to Skopelos
Posted in Culture/Music/Film on March 20, 2015| 9 Comments »
The Camphill Movement, which has schools and residential centres in over twenty countries around the world, was founded in the 1930s by followers of the anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner, and promotes a holistic approach to special needs care, including the widely regarded Waldorf education system. While the project envisages its residents being in the 25-up age range, from Skopelos, nearby islands or the mainland, it will also be open as a day facility for younger islanders. It’s estimated that over a dozen or so young islanders could benefit from the facilities. While it is not yet an official Camphill project, the promoters are in discussions with the Camphill Movement to obtain recognition.
