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 3 looks at Camphill’s work in the USA and at several of their new initiatives, including a Day Centre on the edge of Mifddlesborough, a new community in Norfolk and a household near Geneva where those with handicaps have jobs in the local community.
Visits three Camphill communities in Pennsylvania. In a place for young people one of the workers appeared in the earlier films as a music therapist. We also see a school and a village for adults, and the film also shows Thornage Hall in Norfolk, and finishes with thoughts of a co-worker in Switzerland, who expresses the Camphill ethos of sharing on an equal footing. One of three programmes 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.
