Summer Term in the School of Life will start on Friday 25 January 2015, in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia and will become the first international school to open its doors.
To make everyday life rich, the writer Alain de Botton has worked hard at getting the best ideas and the School of Life is his brainchild（構(gòu)想). Since it began in London in 2009, more than 50,000 people have taken part in its programs and its new way of life-long learning is now well-known all over the world.
Summer Term in the School of Life is a 10-week project offering a selection of the UK’s most popular programs, led by Australia’s thinkers. “We are very excited to start the School of Life in Australia. We can’t wait to start receiving our first guests（客人）,” says Alain de Botton.
Summer Term will include different classes, workshops and other special events held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 25January and 31 March. The conversation Café onsite will serve up a daily conversation menu, light food and of course, delicious coffee.
“There has been a growing need among Australians to deal with the problems in life like love, creativity, work, money, nature and death. The School of Life Australia will provide a space for us to explore (探測) these subjects,” says Sara Tiefebtun, Project Director of the School of Life Australia.
Program details for the School of Life Australia’s Summer Term will be announced in December 2013. For more information sign up to our mailing list at: www. theschoollife.com/
