Why It Is Relevant for Learning Spaces and Educational Architecture?
Child-centred pedagogy depends on environments that support exploration, movement, creativity, and autonomy. The course helps educators and designers understand how space, materials, layout, and routines act as a “third teacher,” enabling experiential, participatory learning. This makes it valuable for schools reimagining classrooms, learning studios, and child-friendly ecosystems.
Expected Impact or Takeaways for Participants:
Participants leave with a clear grounding in experiential learning, connections across 8–10 pedagogical approaches, and ready-to-use strategies for classroom practice. They develop reflective teaching habits, learn to design inclusive and joyful learning spaces, and gain tools to create learner-driven, participatory, and meaningful educational experiences.
