Botton is a small village within the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England which is mainly a Camphill Community for people with learning disabilities. == The Origins of Botton village == Botton was founded in 1955〔Jan Martin Bang, "Camphill Ecovillages", ''Proceedings of the Seventh International Communal Studies Conference: Communal living on the threshold of a new millennium: lessons and perspectives.'', International Communal Studies Association, (June 25–27, 2001) pp. 249-257. (Conference proceedings. )〕 on the initiative of the Camphill community in Scotland and initial direction of Peter Roth. It was the first organisation of its kind within the anthroposophical social therapeutic work specifically for people with disabilty after they reached adulthood.〔''Geschichte der anthroposophischen Heilpädagogik und Sozialtherapie - Entwicklung und Aufgabenfelder 1920 bis 1980'' Volker Frielingsdorf, Rüdiger Grimm, Brigitte Kaldenberg, Verlag am Goetheanum 2013, ISBN 9783723514788, P. 425〕〔''The Builders of Camphill: Lives and Destinies of the Founders'' Edited by Friedwart Bock, Floris Books, 2004 ISBN 9780863154423〕 It is home to more than 230 people, around 100 of whom are adults with learning disabilities.〔(Camphill Village Trust Communities: Botton Village, North Yorkshire ) Official Website〕 Many people who live there, live in shared family-style homes together with co-workers, others are supported in shared accommodation with friends or live independently. There are five biodynamic farms located around the village. The community works together on these farms, each person contributing according to his or her ability. In the village there are many different workshops where villagers make products which are sold to the public via a number of outlets. There are also three shops: a gift shop, for visitors, with items from both Botton and other Camphill villages; a village store, which is the village food shop and a "Coffee Bar" where the villagers and co-workers congregate in the evening to chat and play board games. Botton village received the Deputy Prime Minister's Award for Sustainable Communities in 2005; the award cited the community's dedication to the ethos of sustainability and mutual respect, as well as their concrete achievements in these areas.〔"The Deputy Prime Minister's Award." ''Learning Disability Practice'' 9.2 (March 2006): 26(1)〕 Also in 2005, the village featured in a Channel 4 documentary entitled ''Botton, the strangest village in Britain''.〔(''The Strangest Village in Britain'' ) Channel4.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Botton, North Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
