"Schools between sky & stars: metaverse and new learning environments"

The symbiosis of service learning, biophilia and the use of digital tools should give rise to innovative ideas for lesson design. As a result, future skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, sustainability skills and self-management are cultivated and strengthened.

In addition to evaluating the project, the KU primarily contributes its technical expertise in the field of Service Learning. Service Learning is a form of teaching and learning in which students apply theoretical knowledge in practice by actively participating in charitable projects. They become socially or ecologically involved, reflect on their experiences in the course or classroom and learn to take on social responsibility. The concept of biophilia is also taken into account when designing new learning environments. It was described by the American biologist Edward O. Wilson. Wilson coined the term to explain the innate emotional affinity of humans to other living beings and to nature as a whole. The third pillar of the project is quite contrasting: the integration of digital tools and the metaverse in learning environments. By integrating digital elements into learning scenarios, the aim is to make the possibilities of digital technologies for teaching usable and visible.
