Lebensraum Schule- eine gesamteuropäische Strategie zur Verbesserung von BildungschancenEntwicklung einer gemeinsamen Lernkultur durch Bildungslandschaften, pädagogischer Architektur und Schaffung von Teilhabemöglichkeiten

"<< Background >>Education is a key topic in local development, but there is often a lack of an overall strategy from all educational partners. The Erasmus+ project ""School Living Space - Development of a common learning culture through educational landscapes, pedagogical architecture and creation of opportunities for participation,"" aimed to sustainably design schools as educational landscapes (Bildungslandschaften) that offer students, parents and teachers new opportunities for participation, collaboration and development. The topics and content contribute to the development, support and (further) development of a learning culture that is based on individual support, appreciative relationships and regional identity. Everyone involved in the project brought experiences from their field of work .The Gera Youth Welfare Office (Department of Youth, Social Affairs and Culture) has been carried out projects within the framework of international youth work since 1997, the ERASMUS+ cooperation partnership, like “Bildungssprünge..."" 2011-2013 and “Consistent Way..” 2014-2017 play an important role for this cooperation partnership.<< Objectives >>The “School as a living space..."" project aims to create a pan-European strategy to improve educational opportunities.
