About Learning Environments Australasia
Learning Environments Australasia is a non-for-profit organisaton of over 900 architects, educators, designers and planners from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. We enhance the educational experience by innovating and improving the places where people learn.
Re:Activate generating a city of learning is the 20th annual Learning Environments Australasia Conference and is curated by our NZ chapter. As the peak body advocating for quality learning environments, our conference will showcase a vast array of learning environments from early childhood, primary and secondary schools to universities, as well as the urban fabric required to re:Activate a city - Christchurch
This year’s conference themes of connecting, developing and designing, will provide a cohesive overview of the re:Activate approach as we gather together as an Australasian Region, once again inviting people from all over the world, to meet and deepen our shared understandings, possibly change mindsets, and grow as a community of people dedicated to making quality learning environments for all.
Hono | Connecting
To connect is about building relationships through shared experiences and working together to provide people with a sense of belonging in a learning space.
Whakawhanake| Developing
To develop or improve on something either existing or new can be simple or complex, however, we hope for positive outcomes for all concerned.
Whakarārangi | Designing
To design for a specific learning setting while aligning to the special character or cultural needs of the people who will go on to work, live and grow in a learning space.
I look forward to welcoming you to Christchurch!
