Leonardo Project in «Solborg Camphill Village»
NORWAY
the project Solborg is a Camphill community. People with special needs, coworkers (unsalaried) and their families live and work together in the village. Everybody contributes according to his or her ability to do so. The village is quite self-
sufficient; there is a biodynamic farm and garden, as well as forestry, bakery, carpentry and weavery workshops. From the beginning of Camphill, this is the idea of the threefold social order: - A spiritual life based on the
individual freedom of all; - A social life where all are equal; - An economy based on a brotherly way of caring for each others needs. This is an example of a Leonardo Trainee weekly timetable:
Beyond that there is a feeling that each person should develop responsibility - and not be only expecting others to tell them what to do and what not to do.

the project place Solborg Norway is a ruggedly beautiful country of mountains, fjords and glaciers. The ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’ has amazingly long summer days. Nearly a third of Norway lies north of the Artic circle – the point at which there is at least one full day when the sun never sets and one full day when
it never rises. Norway has the lowest population density in Europe (pop: 4.54 million). Norway can be very expensive but you are unlikely to need much money as you will spend most of your time in the Solborg village. This village of Solborg, in the southern part of Norway is about 1 hour north of Oslo.
