THIS IS HOW YOU CREATE THE BEST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR YOU – A MEANINGFUL WHOLE
We hope you have been inspired by the three class rooms. We hope they have given you a lot of know ledge and insights and, not least, some thoughts about how your own school could benefit from these ideas. There is no ready-made solution for the perfect physical environment – one size fits no one. The road to your own best learning environment is a matter of carrying out a thorough survey. In order to know what you need, you firstly need an understanding of how the current learning environment works, what your present needs are, how you would like to work in the future and what your future needs might be. Kinnarps’ vision is to create learning spaces where all students can develop, be motivated and engaged, where they are given the opportunity to achieve their full potential. In our concept Next Education® we can, with the aid of various tools and analyses, help you in the change journey to your ideal learning space.

BEFORE A CHANGE IS MADE IN THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, WE ASK ALL SCHOOLS FIVE QUESTIONS: 1. How does our school work today – for example in terms of collaboration, creativity and security? 2. How does our physical environment support learning? 3. How are the acoustics, lighting and air quality perceived in our environments? 4. How does our learning environment promote health and well-being among students and staff? 5. Are the learning environments customised for current and future ways of working and needs?
