Abstract
We prove convergence to a motion by mean curvature by scaling diffusiv ely a nonlinear, nonlocal evolution equation. This equation was introd uced earlier to describe the macroscopic behavior of a ferromagnetic s pin system with Kac interaction which evolves with Glauber dynamics. T he convergence is proven in any time interval in which the limiting mo tion is regular.
