Change the Grounds - Transforming Spaces

The project “Change the Grounds – Transforming Spaces for learning activities”, funded by the “Erasmus+” program, shows teachers new ways of incorporating the schoolyard into their lessons as a place of learning. A handbook and a website are being developed for this purpose, which is primarily aimed at educational staff at elementary school. The aim is to provide teachers with new inspiration on how they can incorporate the natural conditions on site into their lesson planning in a creative and playful way. The handbook provides concrete recommendations for action, whether for creating colors using flowers and leaves in art lessons, building bird nesting places or simple arithmetic exercises at the school fence. The suggestions are intended to serve as a basis for designing the school playground or nearby public spaces more creatively and to encourage children to explore and creatively appropriate the spaces.
