Courses

This course aims to equip educators with the skills to transform learning spaces to meet the educational needs of the future. Moving beyond traditional classroom setups, the course focuses on creating flexible learning environments that support students’ creativity, collaboration, digital skills, and critical thinking. Aligned with the 2021-2027 Erasmus+ Programme, the course highlights digital transformation and inclusivity priorities.
Participants will explore how to redesign both physical and digital learning environments to support individual and collective learning processes. The course focuses on redesigning learning spaces using digital tools, flexible furniture, and outdoor learning opportunities.

The course follows an activity-based, hands-on, and collaborative methodology. While the theoretical component focuses on how to design learning spaces, participants will work on projects to transform physical and digital environments. Educators will develop strategies they can implement in their own schools through practical activities involving digital tools, mobile technologies, and learning space design.
Participants will also learn how to strengthen learning processes using digital technologies and see how these tools can be integrated into learning spaces.

• Teach educators strategies for transforming learning spaces and applying these strategies in their own schools.
• Create flexible learning environments that encourage students’ creativity, collaboration, and individual learning.
• Design new learning spaces supported by digital tools and technologies.
• Develop methods for creating inclusive and environmentally friendly learning spaces.

• Participants will be able to redesign physical and digital learning spaces to promote digital transformation in their classrooms.
• Participants will develop arrangements for flexible and creative learning environments.
• Participants will use digital tools and technologies to create effective learning spaces.
• Participants will design learning environments that support the implementation of Erasmus+ priorities in digital transformation and inclusivity within their schools.
