With the aim of constantly improving our educational work, we invited teachers to a new workshop on "Learning Environments". As part of the context of the activity, we reflected on how to rescue the voices of the children for the creation and constitution of the spaces.

With the aim of constantly improving our educational work, we invite teachers to a new workshop on "Learning Environments", to remember the importance of design based on emotions, and to shift the material as the center of the workshop to highlight the importance of the purpose of the space. 

What is play for an adult?

We ask ourselves this question in order to reflect that this is one of the actions that children take most seriously. Thus, the teachers recognized the relevance of giving a certain ritual sense to the sessions and spaces from the habit they created for their students.

The challenge for teachers is to position the place they inhabit, which is why during the workshop they are invited to investigate and document what happens in their classrooms; this with the firm purpose of transcending the institutional and that the exercise takes on a strong meaning in everyday life.

Thus, we also generated spaces for reflection on elements such as: gestures, voices and rituals; we also worked on the materials and furniture used in the classroom and the spatial relationship with them. The teaching staff was invited to permanently question why and what things are done for, always focused on rescuing the uniqueness of each child.
