On 10th September, 2007, we start our new term, re-establishing a fully running 4-year training in Stourbridge in the heart of England. There are still places in the new first-year (also in the other classes).
The timetable for the 1st-year is mostly free in the afternoons, to enable needy students find part-time work. Students of the other years are eligible to apply for a interest-free loan from the Godparents Association. Tuition fees: £850 per term (3 terms a year).
We are exploring accreditation possibilities, and aim to award B.A. degrees in Eurythmy Education. The two eurythmy tutors (Maren & Shaina) currently join the other 18 international students in Yerna, Sweden, on a Masters programme in Eurythmy Education awarded by Plymouth University. As a fund-raising event for the accreditation process, on Sat. 17th Nov., the students provide an internationally-prepared meal, as Terry Lizzard presents a “tribute transvestite comedy”. Tickets, £20.
