Overview

Karl König was the initiator and co-founder of the Camphill Movement, now a worldwide co-operation of more than 100 communities, that are concerned with curative education, inclusive village settlements and social work inspired by anthroposophy. This could be considered the main-work of Karl König. Because the Movement can be seen as an impulse of holistic therapeutic community-building this faculty also includes aspects of many other fields: from medicine and education to art, agriculture and religious life. The volumes of the New Edition listed here are more specific to the Movement itself including its spiritual background.

The Camphill Movement, founded in 1940 in Scotland, consists of organizations, initiatives, and communities that work associatively to develop inclusive social and community practices across eight geographic regions. The Camphill Movement is affiliated to the Anthroposophical Society and has links with many other anthroposophical organizations as well as organizations active in the disabilities field and in inclusive community building.

The Camphill Movement Group

coordinates and encourages networking and association across the Camphill Movement, fostering the development of inclusive, social and community practices.
