SPECIAL EVENT: EGS will have several special guests in honor of our Provost Paolo J. Knill’s 80th Birthday at the Summer School session in July, 2012.

Come meet Expressive Arts Co-founder Shaun McNiff, enjoy Community-Art with the singer, saxophonist, flutist and actor Stan Strickland, and listen to the famous Swiss poet and writer Adolf Muschg!

The Arts, Health, and Society Division offers certificate programs (CAGS), Masters and Doctoral degrees in Expressive Arts in the areas of Therapy, Coaching & Consulting, and Conflict Transformation & Peacebuilding. This division is an arts-based, community-oriented, and environmentally-sensitive organization designed as an adult-learning model. We are a University Without Borders: an intercultural and interdisciplinary experience. 

These programs seek to restore confidence in poiesis (The Greek word for making or shaping). Art-making stems from the human capacity to shape both self and world. Training and research at the Arts, Health and Society Division of the European Graduate School are based on that capacity and encourage students to take responsibility for shaping their development as learners in a collaborative and supportive atmosphere. 

Teaching takes place in the beautiful mountain village of Saas Fee, tucked away in the Swiss Alps (State of Valais, Switzerland) at an altitude of 1,800 m (6,000 ft). Each summer from June to August, the European Graduate School holds two sessions for Expressive Arts, inviting students and faculty from all over the world to meet and participate in intensive training seminars.

The EGS Campus is surrounded by the magnificent view of some of Switzerland's highest mountains, providing a unique learning atmosphere for the community of artists, dancers, poets, filmmakers, therapists, and educators. Students enrolled in the Arts, Health, and Society division are immersed into a fascinating field to unlock deep introspective understanding, master techniques of interpersonal relationships, and express these new ideals of the self through movement, voice, sound, and art. Stepping outside of the classroom, students are greeted by majestic fields of wildflowers, the rushing sounds of waterfalls, and nearby trails leading straight into nature. This welcoming community provides an intensive learning atmosphere while maintaining a safe, creative container for everyone to shape, share, and grow. 

EGS Summer School is coming! We are making plans for it to be an exciting summer, full of learning, art-making and community – all situated in the glorious Alps of Saas Fee, Switzerland.
