Extracurricular Places of Learning
We learn always and everywhere - at home, at school, but also and above all 'in the world'.
Particularly in the context of inquiry-based learning, the direct experience that pupils have on excursions into the real world is an important part of the learning process.
The aim is to deepen the discussion, find answers with all the senses and develop questions through contact that is as authentic and stimulating as possible.
A different environment offers new perspectives and approaches, puts theoretical knowledge into concrete contexts and encourages students to conduct their own research.
Excursions to extracurricular places of learning offer special shared challenges and experiences that strengthen social interaction - joint excursions and school trips are lasting memories for many children (and adults).
In the context of the topic of water, for example, a hike along the riverbank is just as much a part of this as a visit to the planetarium for the topic of space, or the direct experience of the changes in nature in the forest for the topic of autumn.
