Out-of-school places of learning
We are learning all the time and everywhere - at home, at school, but also and above all out in the world. Especially in the context of inquiry-based learning, the direct experience that pupils have during excursions into the outside world is an important part of the learning process. The aim is to deepen the insights of the children through contact that is as authentic and stimulating as possible, to find answers with all the senses and to develop questions. Different surroundings offer new perspectives and approaches, put what has been learned theoretically into concrete contexts and encourage students to conduct their own research.
Excursions to places of learning outside of school offer special shared challenges and experiences that strengthen social togetherness - collective excursions and class trips form lasting memories for many children (and adults).
For example, in the context of the topic of water, a hike along a riverbank is just as much a part of the experience as a visit to a planetarium on the topic of outer space, or directly experiencing the changes in nature in the forest on the topic of autumn.
