From local energy projects, systems change initiatives in fashion or agriculture or retrofit programmes, all the exemplars in OPEN WORKS offer ways to learn that are open and/or place-based.
The examples captured in the database represent a range of different contexts and scales - but there are patterns and commonalities. We’ve grouped them into five types:
→ Visits and open days
→ Communities and networks
→ Immersives and intensives
→ Work-integrated learning
→ Challenges and demonstrator labs.
Different formats suit different needs and contexts - they work to complement other learning pathways, formal and non-formal, online and in the classroom.
We’ll be doing further analysis as we build the database and sharing observations and insights as we go.
Learning by seeing real practice in context.
Examples: tours, experiences, field trips, open days, festivals, exchanges, study trips.
First Hand: Walking Tour, New Covent Garden Market
Learning through peer exchange.
Examples: Communities of Practice, alliances, peer mentoring, accountability clubs, community research, twinning
