Using their outside voices
In ‘Learning Spaces’ contest, international group designs outdoor learning and play spaces
The “think globally, act locally” catchphrase encourages problem solvers to consider global health and local communities as they work. For “Learning Spaces,” an outdoor classroom design competition, Norwich University thought and looked globally inviting inventive high schoolers from around the world to submit ideas for outdoor spaces for learning and play.
Fifty-seven people from 10 countries on four continents registered for the contest, which ran Nov. 12 through Dec. 13. Forty-two students entered, including students from India, Sri Lanka and Canada. The first-place winner submitted from Poland.
