Conference 2018: Videos
Learning by Design
Each and every one of us holds a set of beliefs and ideologies about the world and how we make sense of it. This very framework influences and designs the actions and decisions we make daily. This design surrounds us and can be found anywhere affecting the school environment we work in.
This Conference will explore the influence of design on learning through an observation of how we perceive the school curriculum, the teaching strategies we promote, the learning spaces we create and the pursuit of children‘s wellbeing.
