Forget the traditional school interior with desks, tables and black teachers blackboards. In the Danish school Ordrup instead of the usual school interiors you will find an unusual room with space for differentiated teaching and creative thinking. Through the high windows is convenient to observe the surrounding world, a green platforms with round, red holes as if created for the emotional debate jobs, and large upholstered tubes can snuggle with a good book or just to dream alone.
At the heart of the creation of such an alternative school project is the idea that all human beings are very different, think differently and learn, too, respectively, in different ways. The project is based on three concepts: "peace and absorption", "discussion and cooperation" and "security and presence." Each space is very different from each other, for example, if one bet is placed on the dynamics and development, then another at the forefront of advanced comfort and rest. Separating the activities and simulating different spaces, Bosch & Fjord have created a new school - a place where the entire educational process is based on the dissimilarities and thus fully optimized
It is no secret that children aged 6 to 12 have different needs. Based on this, Bosch & Fjord have developed a special design of classes for all ages. In junior high demand in solitude and silence created upholstered tubes for reading, while the moving parts of the carpet creating a temporary space for discussion and cooperation.
In middle school you can work in small groups in sculpture "Hot Pot" or vice versa, to retire to read or focus on a lesson in colorful "Cabin concentration.
At the most senior grades the emphasis is on adaptation of adolescents to interact with the real world. Bright red sofas of the island on wheels moving on a bright yellow floors and can be used for team collaboration, high-profile debates or watching movies. Yes, and a long bright green table, which stretches across the room, creates the conditions for creative collaboration.
In the project involved teachers and students of the school. The usual stereotypes of thinking had been challenged, and the focus shifted from the physical framework for the functionality. Bosch & Fjord temporarily moved to the school, pupils and teachers received an unusual job, which subsequently helped shape the school schedule and design classes. The aim of the project was to challenge traditional schools with their standard classrooms and create new spaces to stimulate thinking as an active tool in learning.
The uniqueness of this project is that the first emphasis was placed not only on teaching methodology, but also to the external environment of school children as a determining factor in effective education and creative development of personality.
I do not know about you, but I'd love to give her child to a school. Hopefully, in five years (when my daughter goes to school), such institutions will no longer be seen as social experiments, and become completely familiar and commonplace in every city.
I want to believe ...
