We tend to associate schools as the primary learning locations. However, there is a multitude of additional locations that offer excellent learning locations like museums, libraries, churches, enterprises or various associations. Some of these learning locations have better equipped learning facilities and environments than many schools. It is about time to reckon with this and advocate stronger links between the often disconnected worlds of learning. Teacher training focuses on schools, curricula and teaching methods, but the systematic combination of all these „external“ learning locations with the full-time schooling world could stimulate so much more learning. Maybe, even the social selectivity of education could be reduced through the motivation and different entry points into learning by a diversity of learning locations. Lifewide and lifelong learning are likely to be motivated at an early age. (Image: Stabi West-Berlin 2026-7)
