Educational Spaces & Learning Environments in an International Perspective
Learning spaces, learning environments, extended education – the terms are as diverse as the concepts and definitions behind them. It is striking that they consistently reflect current developments in other areas of education. In the 21st century, virtual and sustainable learning environments play a particularly important role, whereas until the 1980s, the focus was primarily on school buildings and architecture. Alongside the improvement of school buildings, classrooms, and so on, extracurricular education is also playing an increasingly significant role. This can take place both outdoors and in other spaces such as museums. In some contexts, the goal of learning spaces is also to create safe and stable environments in crisis zones in order to facilitate at least basic education. The new Education Worldwide dossier offers insights into all these aspects of learning spaces and learning environments. It provides general overview information, details on organisations, networks, and projects addressing this topic, as well as guides, handbooks, toolkits, and more.
