Creating Spaces of ExperienceHow can we create spaces in which people with low educational achievement have the opportunity to bring together their ideas and experiences? How can we identify spaces in which common learning processes might originate? How can we generate the right atmosphere in these spaces – an atmosphere furthering the readiness of those present to get involved with one another and to engage in learning? How do spaces for encounter with the potential of inspiring on a long-term basis originate? Through learning effected at the club, at the café, at the museum, in the park, or in the botanic garden free spaces and opportunities can be created. Spaces for education are needed by those people who are willing to report on their experiences in a humorous way. Learning in drop-in centres or meeting places at which food is handed out to the needy, for example, also comprehends learning from failure and from what can be achieved in teamwork. The project intended to give a chance to speak in unusual spaces of experience to those people who are threatened by poverty and social exclusion. In this way further notice was attracted to the aspect of spatial settings in the further education of disadvantaged target groups. The methodology interlinked both psychology, theory of knowledge, social education, and social studies and exploited concepts from architecture and cultural studies. The website collects the documents on experiential and spatial didactics produced in the course of the project and serves as an electronic guide. Spaces of experience create a sense of community and offer the opportunity to connect theory and practice against the European LLL-background.
