The panel discussed a range of topics, including:

๐Ÿซ how place, space, and architecture shape the way WIA and ESD are experienced and enacted in educational settings;

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ what educational leaders should understand about the relationship between the built environment and the everyday experience of learning and inclusion;

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“ how space and design can influence the quality of learning and the way institutional culture is experienced by learners and educators.

This provided an opportunity to share the research and tools currently being developed by NeuroLandscape, including ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—จ๐—ฟ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜€๐—บ ๐—”๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ (๐—ก๐—จ๐—”) as part of the GreenInCities project and re-designing schools in a process that includes all stakeholders (non-human too!๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿ) as part of the SchoolChanger Interreg BSR project.
