Vittra has international schools that use design that encourages creativity and curiosity.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Vittra runs 30 schools in Sweden and wants learning to take place everywhere in its schools, so it threw out the "old-school" thinking of straight desks in a line in a four-walled classroom. They eliminated all of its classrooms in favor of an environment that fosters children’s "curiosity and creativity".
Vittra opened Telefonplan School in Stockholm where Architect Rosan Bosch designed the school so children could work independently in opened-spaces while lounging, or go to "the village" to work on group projects. Check out the Five Learning Spaces: 1. The Cave 2. The Lab 3. The Camp Fire 4. The Watering Hole 5. The Showoff

The Vittra Schools (there are 30 in Sweden) have eliminated classrooms...learning happens in every corner of the building, in every possible configuration.

Maria Montessori had these ideas before anyone. Learning happens wherever you are not just in the classroom. |
Our main question "how do learning spaces impact learning and learners?" helped guide the direction of the conversations and the chat was amazing!! Our second #plearnchat on Flexible Learning Spaces went by so fast that we are so glad that we archived it using Storify so we can take time in one place to review all the ideas, resources, research, pictures, and videos that was shared in the chat.
