DO YOU SEE AN URGENT NEED FOR FREE, ENVIRONMENTALLY JOINED UP, CREATIVE, EDUCATION? –universities charge to set us up for a life time of debt, teaching hours for tutors are cut, facilities reduced.

Education is the circumstances, where the human is inclined to realize himself as a spiritual being. Education is the possibility to learn to become ANOTHER MYSELF. Education is the possibility to make use of a new MYSELF.
