The project "Educational Spaces 21. Open up!" (EDUSPACES21 for short), which ran until 2016, aimed to "assist schools in modernizing their educational spaces with 21st century solutions in mind. The central idea of this approach is to see educational space in broader terms than as a mere classroom. This encompasses three principal dimensions: physical space (architecture, equipment, school infrastructure), virtual space and technology (online/ network-based learning and teaching), and social aspects (school community, local community, contact with the world)." Recommendations for the redesign of schools were to be provided in the form of guidebooks and conferences. The EDUSPACES21 project was funded by the EU's Erasmus+ program. Partner institutions were located in Sweden, Poland, and Germany. The follow-up project is "NOVIGADO - Active Learning and Innovative Teaching in Flexible Learning Spaces."
