Are you interested in exploring the unlimited possibilities of learning and education with your peers? Creative Learning Lab might be the community for you. What started as a random idea by three project researchers having a coffee break at a Finnish teacher education department of University of Jyväskylä, is now being piloted as a grass-roots-level Creative Learning Lab experience during Spring term 2021.

Creative Learning Lab gathers students and beginning researchers in the field of education to discuss, share knowledge and learn together in an informal atmosphere and experimental manner. We are interested in a wide-range of topics, spanning art-based learning (e.g. creative writing, visual art, music), games in learning, future thinking and future learning skills, parent/home and school collaboration, as well as phenomenon-based and curiosity education. The sessions can be proposed and hosted by anyone: You may suggest a topic that interests you and ask the Creative Expertise (ULA) -team to host the Lab session. Playful activities including, but not limited to, exploring the outdoors, immersing in the arts and challenging one another with online gaming will be incorporated in the sessions.
