Description
Jonathan Stedall’s much acclaimed BBC series about CAMPHILL: Camphill was founded in Scotland in 1940 by a group of refugees from Vienna. The staff lived communally and without wages; there was no going on and off duty; their aim was always to live with and not just for the mentally handicapped children and adults in their care. Part 1 looks at the work with children. Camphill’s founder Dr Konig always believed that all children, whatever their handicaps, should have a full-time education. He had been inspired in his work by another Austrian, the educationalist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner.
A look at Camphill’s work with children in Aberdeen, Switzerland, southern Germany and Pennsylvania, showing classroom scenes and therapy sessions, as well as the special relationship between the children. Peter, who as an autistic child appeared in the earlier series, is shown in hospital. One of three programmes, ‘The Candle on the Hill”, about Camphill, villages where the co-workers live and work together with people with learning disabilities, without wages or days off. Run off the principles of Rudolf Steiner. Directed by Jonathan Stedall.
