Kick off in Bratislava: New Project "Change the Grounds"

The kick off meeting for the new project “Change the Grounds – Transforming spaces for learning activities” funded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union took place in Bratislava. UfU  and its cooperating partners Strom zivota (Slovakia), INAK (Slovakia) and Learning through Landscapes (UK) shared ideas on the matter of outdoor learning and how teachers can implement these learning activities in the curriculum across countries in Europe. A manual and an online guide will be developed for the implementation of outdoor learning activities in schoolyards and surrounding green spaces. In order to give teachers new inspirations how they can creatively incorporate the natural conditions on-site into their lesson planning, a set of inspirations across school subjects will be developed. These inspirations will be the basis for using schoolyards or nearby public spaces more creatively in an educational context and encouraging children to explore and creatively acquire spaces.
