Part of United We

‘School-desk learning' is but one form of learning, albeit a very dominant form. What are other ways to take information to us? By doing? By working in a group? With United We Learn we will experiment with forms of learning that challenge the traditional, inactive and transmitter-oriented forms of learning.

United We Learn is an experiment in which 25 participants experience different ways of learning. Each meeting consists of learning and doing. Using surprising forms of learning, we will experiment with visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning.

The subject of the various learning activities, is learning itself: how are we learning? Why are we learning? And what do we learn? The gatherings take place at a special location, so -as a participant- the effect of the environment on learning is felt.

Speaker: Ad Verbrugge,
Workshops: Ron Nansink en Nadja Kotrchova (www.thefeel.org) and Conditional Design

United We Learn is organized in collaboration with Brandstof. Brandstof is the official partner of The School of Life in The Netherlands. Brandstof runs small courses and organises big events in The Netherlands, with the aim to create a place for clear thinking about everyday issues.
