What does a rich learning environment mean?
Forms of experiential learning
Suze Roelofs, experiential learning trainer, Netherlands
Children develop in their own special way and that requires, among other things, a rich learning environment. This rich learning environment is essential if you want to give involvement with children a chance. Children have the right to the space where they spend a large part of their time being rich. Rich in the sense of a great wealth of opportunities to be inspired, to be challenged, to make contact, to feel good and to build knowledge and skills. Not only in the lower grades, but also in the middle and upper grades. A well-cared for and prepared environment that ensures that the space really has its own pedagogical value where all aspects of a child come into their own. A learning environment with challenging activities and materials, which is clearly arranged and challenging, encourages children to tap into their potential and offers the space to take initiative. The latter is not only of great value for the children, but also serves as a second pedagogue.

How do we prepare children for the complexity of real life?
Ludo Heylen, experiential learning trainer, Belgium
During this workshop, Ludo and the participants we will address several practical questions:
- How can you bring more life into the school, given the current context?
- How can you help children become emotionally stronger? How do you teach them to navigate the world of emotions? What role does music or musical expression play?
- How do you teach them to truly come together as a group?
- How can you work around the idea of Happiness?
- How can you ensure that each child remains confident in their own power and potential?
These questions will be complemented by participants’ curiosities about the “School for Life” concept (School van je leven).

To strengthen our own connection to the natural world around us we will mindfully work with musical instruments. Momo will take instruments you can use, you are also invited to bring an instrument you love (drum, kalimba, rattle, flute or any other instrument).

Storytelling performance for adults
Location: Babel School
Maja Bumberák (Hungary)
Maja Bumberák brings her „story-bag” filled with tales and songs to evoke a time when adults settled around the fire and shared tales with each other. Even today, this is food for the heart and the soul, sometimes bringing laughter and sometimes tears. Maja’s storytelling is spiced with songs, guitar, zither and flute playing, and occasionally riddles too. It’s a real journey with many, many adventures.

Alternative ways to organize the learning day
Dedicated to teachers
-The learning contract method
Suze Roelofs, experiential learning trainer, Netherlands
The weekly task (contract work) is a very relevant form of work within process-oriented work and many traditional innovators. A well-designed weekly task gives the children a lot of room for self-direction and offers teachers the opportunity to differentiate well in the classroom and work in small groups. The rich weekly task goes beyond a task sheet that children can work on once the basic subjects have been completed. Working with a weekly task requires a rich, challenging learning environment with reasoned content, ensures interaction and reciprocity and offers many opportunities to do reflection work with your students.

Storytelling workshop
Dedicated to teachers
Storyteller Trainer: Mălina Billod (Switzerland)
Storytelling for Personal Development in the Classroom
Traditional stories have come to us from centuries past, passed down from generation to generation around the fire, at gatherings, and during village celebrations. If they have reached us in the smartphone age, it means they are very powerful. Their strength comes from the life wisdom they contain. Each of us can convey this wisdom, and the role of a teacher provides wonderful opportunities for that. In this workshop, you will tell an old story and embark on a journey of self-discovery, in search of the treasures of introspection, armed with creative and inspiring suggestions. At the end, we will reflect together on what this journey was like and how this experience can be made available to children in the classroom.
