Educational space = learning and creating development opportunities through materials, objects and spaces;
Educational space = manual activity and its meaning;
Educational space = creating material, object and space in the context of limited resources and ecology;
Activities taking place in the educational space = searching, finding, collecting, classifying, planning, comparing, matching, testing, assembling, building, analyzing, (re)making, deciding, copying, recording, sharing, distributing, …
+ in the educational space we begin to describe the spaces in which we ourselves (as creative and responsible individuals) wish to develop;
+ in the educational space we create conditions for checking-testing and more precisely formulating our value system(s);
+ through the educational space project, we can describe what is actually in the space (materials, things-objects, tools, texts, sounds) and what activities take place there;
Question for the initial task: Could my personal educational space and the description (museum) summarizing the journey taken in the process of creating (making visible) it be the beginning of someone else’s educational space?
